Sort of my old (now) telescope, except I have a Cave Astrola mount yet I can use, and a 10" Meade mirror reflector. Yes, it still works because the mirror is quartz coated, and I did not use it for awhile. Bought a long time ago, but still, the mount will wear and the telescope will also wear.

Depends how you treat it I suppose in the end.

Not made anymore (mount or a Cave Astrola Telescope). I think he died.
