I had my amp rebuilt by Becker Electronics in either South or North Carolina back in 1995. They used to advertise in Hemmings. I had a rebuild actuator put in in 1999 or 2000 (I cannot remember, and my repair booklet with the exact date is not in my office). In 1995 the car had less than 200kmi, in 1999 the car had less than 275kmi.

Years later (the car now has 387kmi), both the amp and the actuator still work. I suggest that you get a good rebuild and it will last years. BTW, I tend to use mine at least a couple of times per week.
