Longest lasting best describes it. Hand wired sets have a massive steel
chassis thats like a heat sink. They almost never dry up like PCB chassis
do. You almost never get bad connections, bad tube sockets etc. As for
reliability they were probably a little better due to running cooler.
Some PCB sets were so bad when old if you pull out the hoz output
tube the socket starts to come out too ! And you cant resolder them
right so you need to use a new socket & wires.
