Manufacturer checkups


This question is in reference to an older preamp I recently purchased with which I have had no prior experience. Some classifieds state the item was recently check out by the manufacturer and given a "clean bill of health". With an older item that has no functional or visual problems and no obvious sonic deficits, is getting that item checked out worth while?
Thanks

I wouldn't be so optimistic as Sidssp.
If you hear
checked out last month by the manufacturer and given a clean bill of health
very often it spelled
"I pluged the unit and turned on and lights on" with no further testing.
When I open such units and see that there's 25 years old dust, I realize that spelling is totally different from what you're hearing just like in English101.
