One good think about the Japanese tube sets is that they used molded mica or ceramic caps in the IF cans rather then the crappy silver mica ones that plague North American sets, it's probably why many of them still work The Japanese sets often used oil caps in them which were batter then paper at the time, but many of them like to short now that they are in their 50s.
