Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand?


On cost consideration, I am planning to buy a 2nd hand CD Player like Accuphase DP 500 Player or Estoric X-05
which are around 10 years old or so.  The price is about US$2000~3000.  Of course, unlike amplifier, the CD player has a pick up head and mechanical gears, but even for the above brands which are famous for it's reliability, is it good idea to buy the quite aged CD players from them?

Tks. for the comment and opinion.

Happy holidays to all of you.
I would like to establish that I was taking about the lifespan of a single model, (for how long we at Gryphon normally keep a model in production), and not about the actual lifetime of a product. Hopefully the lifetime of a product should be way more than 10 years. Wishing all of you Happy Holidays and all the best for 2020 and thanks a lot for raising an interesting topic here at the forum.

With kind regards,
