I've found that most of the time, 10 years is how long slide valves last. I know, some people will say that they get much longer service by taking them apart and lubricating them but over the decades I've found that lubrication then becomes at least an annual job. They don't cost much, put a new set on and forget about them for another 10 years. Sitting unused is the worst thing that can happen to them, most likely what happened to yours.
