Just like changing oil and filters when you buy a car with little documented service.

I'm with you on that 100%. My hard and fast corollary is if I haven't done it it's never been done.
Mine had some hair, a leaf, metal droppings from the welds, wax, what appeared to be foil of some kind and 30 years worth of other assorted gunk. None of it was enough to cause problems but it's one less unknown on my list.
