David,
Even the updated one might last just a few years, my experience. The date code of my last one was year 96 and it went down two months ago. I did not know when the ex owner replaced it, but one thing for sure that it just lasted for 5 years. P/N is 000 540 67 45 made in Hungary. No idea about the quality of electrical industry of Hungary. The current one is same p/n, same country. I try to fix the broken one to be a backup.
