Generally Speaking the larger sets (mostly consoles 20"+) were Warwick, and the table and portables 17" and under were Japanese, there were some gray areas, and I would not be surprised by exceptions.

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.

IMHO
In the tube days the Toshibas were best, Warwick second
& Sanyo a close third. None were that great.
SS years the sets improved a LOT but Toshiba best till the 80's.
Sanyo caught up in the 80's. Warwick SS sets were dogs
& everyone hated them, most wouldnt work on them.

So clean out the rat doot & try it. Nothing to loose.
