That's true of electronic equipment that doesn't move (computers, VCRs, TVs, etc.), but what I've found found with Classic Cameras of the 1960s is that the prime failure point is in the metering mechanism, especially the solder joints. Much solder is susceptible to what looks like chronic fatigue cracking, especially where the leads meet the PCBs.
