Has anyone had experience on these getting weak or wearing out after 20 years ?
Had one that had a crack and died when coil wire strand rusted. I found the crack by putting it in water in tub and found bubbles rising. I let it drained, let it set for coupe weeks then sealed crack. It stop working about 6 months later.
