Speaking of Japanese Rats nest wiring, but have you ever seen the inside of an old Pioneer or Kenwood-TRIO or Sony Tube powered Stereo Receiver or Amplifier or Tuner? Those things are a nightmare when it comes to having to replace capacitors or resistors or having to replace toasty wiring...

I wish I could see the inside of one of those. There are a lot more domestic ones in the US, but with the way the audiophools hunt that gear even the domestic stuff is hard to find and usually priced outside of sanity...

If you end up with tube audio gear that you can't fix please give someone a chance to buy it before E-wasting it.

Pioneer and Trio-Kenwood made tube receivers. Sony didn't make one or didn't offer one in the USA until the TA 1120 integrated of 1965, a silicon transistorized amplifier and the 1967 STR 6120 receiver, the best receiver Sony ever made. Are the Fisher 500C. 800C, or the HH Scott equivalent any harder to repair than a Pioneer or Trio-Kenwood or Sansui tube equivalent model?. I suspect no worse once you understand their quirks and differences, which is the USA tube equivalent.
