Ironically, and based on personal experience, I've read from techs on here and in collector articles online that the m119 and 104 129s are, quote, "bulletproof."
If you pick up a model that hasn't been well-maintained, just like with a 107, you're in deep doo-doo potentially., as far as top hydraulics, peripherals, etc. But a properly-maintained model will last indefinitely. Also, we're talking the early 119s and 104s here.
