[Spridgets] harmonic balancer question

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

The advice on an antique Chevy truck site is to wait for the rubber to go,
then remove it and send it to "The Damper Dude" (Google him) and he'll set
you right, affordably too." ...bill in oregon

So how long will the rubber in our ancient A-series harmonic balancers stay 
flexible enough to do its job?  Should a rebuilt engine have a new one as a 
matter of course, like new gaskets?
