Sorry, no.
Ten years is still a long time. Not a problem, as long as spare parts are available.
As opposed to, say, my 1666 which is still going strong 73 years later?

Just an illusion of the shadows in the photo.
Might want to get a spare set of parts while they are still available...
Another contrast with postwar: With postwar, you can get the worm and gear by themselves. With the modern [rhymes with snap], the best you can do is get an entire axle and an entire motor assembly...
