Thanks for the replies. I had the same thought, if it made it 20 years or so, it probably either had them replaced in the past, or (knock on wood) isn't going to have that issue.
I have been piecing together my system for 30 or so years. Upgrading here and there, when I find a good deal, usually from the used market. This is my 1st component of this caliber, and I am very pleased to have it. I traded it for a pair of Bryston 7BST monoblocks, that I had recently picked up for $1600, and $200 cash. Before that, I was using a HK Citation amp.
Anyway, thanks again. I will likely just roll the dice, and use it as long as I can. If I still have it in 10 years, I will consider sending it in for a refurb at that point. I have heard they charge a lot to service the MLs...
