Those are good performing sets, but two problems they encounter are the deteriorating plastic bezel, pushbuttons and knobs, the other is the rubber wiring (at least in the US built versions) One that you may want to keep an eye open for is a post war model with a similar cabinet, it had the modern 88-108mc FM band, bakelite knobs, and a wooden bezel. I think that they were using vinyl insulated wire by then so it likely won't be an issue.
