I Have 2 working Sears Japanese sets, so I'll say they are not terrible. Both came to me working, but the lytics were going south, and some of the 'paper' caps were getting lousy. One performs well aside from gray-scale drift due to a gun that is getting tired. The other is a bit soft, but decent. Japanese sets seem to have slightly different looking color to their picture (it is like Zenith vs RCA, but more so). Till saturday those were my only 2 Japanese color sets...I just got ~3-5 more Japanese tube color sets in a BIG lot of sets last sat that I plan to play with.
I'll see you guys this Sunday, the 18th. It should be interesting!
