Dropside Crib Vs Non Dropside Crib?

We have a problem.
We have been using the Jenny Lind crib that my mother-in law used for my husband.
Its 26+ years old and in great shape.
It has been through a set of twin boys and then our nephew 6+ yrs ago.
We love the crib and would love to use it again for the next baby.
 Ive recently seen a few articles online regarding the use of a old drop side crib.
I know the goverment has issused a big recall and said for all companies to stop rpoducing them and saleing them.
They sale a Jenny Lind with stationary sides but i dont want to have to invest in the new crib.
I just dont see spending another 200 on a crib when we have a prefectly working crib in our house to use.
I dont want to sound selfish or cheap for the safety of our child.
Our old Jenny Lind has the long metal rod sliding system so unless the wood breaks or we lose on of the screws it seems fine to me.
Our current crib doesnt even come apart for storage it just collapses down into a long flat bed.
We plan on moving Hope to a toddler bed when we become pregnant hopefully soon.
I would love to hear everyones opinion on this topic as we figure out what we will do.
We are trying to prepare now instead of the last minute in case of another premature delivery with the next baby.
Hope everyone is having a great week and a Happy Hump day.
