How old is too old ?....
You wouldn't by chance be looking for an excuse to change, would you? The "all my audio pals are making fun of my speakers" as an excuse syndrome? All jokes aside though,if you have the disposable income, why not? Can you buy better sound? Absolut... 
Yet Another Yamaha T-2 Restoration Question:
Sorry, I then rub the SD 40 or the Duralube over it, helps it to blend in. Usually I will lightly rub the whole surface in it,the oils tend to even splotches and such out. 
Yet Another Yamaha T-2 Restoration Question:
Get a black magic marker(make sure its black and not purple)and some WD40 or Duralube lightly touch the siver spots with the marker, let dry, hit with a little duralube, wipe off, and you would be very hard pressed to ever tell it was there. Bigge...

Do new tubes undergo break-in like other devices?
