They are probably alright sets, but would have the usual bugs of the other 1939-42 Zeniths like small power transformers, whacky power supply circuits (in some models), and rubber wire. One thing I don't like is the cheap cabinet touches with the faux inlay decals they liked to use, up until 1938 brand Z stayed away from faux grain, 1939 and later they seemed to use it extensively.
