Russ, your punctuation is correct, but you should have said, "If it ain't broke..."
You know, it's like that old thing I say sometimes when describing a floozie who looks like she might hang out with Mr. Midnight. What I say is, "That ol' girl looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet." (Somehow "ridden hard" just don't git it.)

Addendum: Uh oh. Should I explain that the allusion is to horses?
