As Andy noted, it hasn't been a problem for 30 years so it's likely to last a bit longer. That said, i'd also be looking for a replacement. If you can find a replacement fork with close to the same axel-to-crown and rake dimensions you should be good to go. You will probably only find threadless forks these days and that would entail a new headset and stem also.
