I have repaired many European made sets and find the resistors are either right on within 5% or open, they never seem to drift. The paper caps are usually leaky and need replacing, the band switches, for reasons stated above, can be a bit of trouble. Sometimes the chassis's are very crowded and not to easy to work on, depends on how elaborate it is. The common thing amongst all of them is when working properly they sound really good.
