I would say that working on any of the German radios of the 50s & 60s required a lighter touch than with the American radios of the time.

They are built differently, but they are consistent, at least among radios of a brand, meaning that you can get accustomed to their style of construction.

For the most part, individual components are at least as good as American versions. But still there are paper caps and such with the usual failures. - - dial strings excepted!
