Very old isn't always bad sometimes they are better made...usually they are better made. My oil burner is about 40 yrs old and works like a dream. Just had weatherization people out here to go over my whole house and they said it couldn't work anybetter. but like was said above DO NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH GAS!!!! GAS GOES BOOM!!!!!! One thing to consider is the number of hrs on the unit. If it has been run alot it maybe time to replace I saw good advice above... have a qualified tech look it over for near future problems no sense in fixing one thing just to have another break!! And check for leaks...match works well!! LOL JOKING DON"T DO IT!! LOL I have never been comfortable with gas I had a close call once when a gas line was leaking behind my stove. turned dishwasher on and had a minor explosion...no damage but very close to a major fire I saw the gas burn back up inside the wall where the line came through!!! Thankfully it went out butr don't play with it better to spend a few bucks and be safe!!!
