The old Shimano bottom brackets tended to be very well made while I have less love for their cartridge units as they are not nearly as smooth and have much less bearing support.

If the bb is serviceable and in nice shape it will give you 10's of thousands of smooth running km with regualar service which takes all of 15 - 20 minutes once you have the tools.
