One great advantage of them being built with "proper" technology, what you see is almost what you get. A bit like a proper radio. The Germans were doing the same with our stuff too.
Some years back, I spoke to Dr. Bill Penley who told me that he had the job of investigating the captured wurzburg kit. He said that his first impression was of how beautifully made everything was. I have a magnetic detector from a German sea mine (which still works perfectly) and is built like a Swiss watch.
