Older Mark vs

[Micro7311]

I’ve had my eye on a mark v for over a year. Locally there is a Bubinga combo for $2k manufactured in 2010 in mint condition (TBC). Is there any risk of a 13 year old Mark V lasting another 30 years? I have no intention of selling this amp. I am even considering a new combo for $3k since it will be 12 years newer with lower age risk. Looking for some advice based on experience.

You never know, Mine was about 10 when it crapped out. Gigged with it, the next day nothing but a hum..... Send it back to Mesa, was about 150.00 to repair. Few sticky relays. I think I'm good to go for another 20 years (that takes me to 80 years old!). Here way my old thread.
