Life is variable. 10 years and the lamp voltage is the best clue. New 9-12V, mid life 3-9, late 3 and below. That doesn't mean it won't work but gives you a hint and the voltages are approx. Use a Hz meter to measure it. Boy the sitting around question. I think they do deteriorate but will look forward to others comments. I have certainly see the RB plate out on the glass and like others recovered the unit by heating the glass up with a heat gun. Typical life 7 years in reality much longer. I think warranty was 4.
