How long do Cassette Decks last

I have had mine since 1989. I don't know about hours, but in general, I imagine cassette decks haven't accumulated the same hours as a CD player purchased in the same year, and therefore are substantially under their life expectancy.

I've had my Nak CR-7a since '88. It works just fine, although it hasn't probably received much use in the last 10 years, I still use it occasionally. I'm going to start recording again though -- making compilations from LPs. Why not burn CDs instead? Why indeed! Analog should stay analog is my position. And the tapes sound great!
