The business will likely continue even when Mr Shindo retires as family members are currently hand building the components anyway.

The pre is a bit over a year old, while the amp is a bit under one year old. There is something about these components that inspire confidence. They are dead quiet, the amp being much quieter than any tube amp I have owned. I have heard this is common w/ Wavac and Air Tight also. Have you been out to listen to Shindo. Apparently Mr. Shindo keeps stock on the NOS tubes as well. Certainly a dealer could shed more light on your concerns.
