Theo, could be it will run forever, you never know. I would check the temperature of the big can electrolytics (power down, wait a couple minutes and see if they're hot - don't grab the connections). They should not be hot, but depending on how close they are to tubes, they may be warm. If they're not near any tubes or other heat generating stuff, they should be cool. A tech could easily check the coupling caps for leaks, which is also a good idea. I'd agree that this i a really nice sounding amp, I've played with the similar 299D before giving it to my son. One of the things I really liked in this amp is the phono stage, so I hope that you're spinning some vinyl and taking advantage of that slice of magic, too. Best of luck!
