I have a 20 year old Mira 186 5U CC. It has what I think is the "uniball" linkage/connection, but I am not sure. The "ball and socket" units are white plastic, with little adjustable plastic screws in the ends.

My question is this...Should I be thinking about replacing these ball/sockets? If so, what should I replace them with. How often should one think about replacing these? (For you semantics-obsessed, I know this is more than one question!)

Also, Is Mirafone still using these? At the Symphonia Workshop I thought I saw a newer horn that had metal connections where my "uniball" connections are.
