Vintage DIN phono cables, any good?

This discussion was most informative but for some reason died, I guess you all know what sounds best.

Well I read through it looking for the answers to chaksters original question.
I believe it was chakster that stated that he has never had issues with the internal wiring in a tonearm. Well I know from reading chaksters preference in buying vintage tonearms is that he likes to find NOS or as close as he can get to it. Even if a tonearm was mounted it has much less environmental degradation if it sits under a cover, that will also contribute to it still looking as new.
Cables on the other hand are not covered and if not in an environmentally controlled climate may indeed have issues with corrosion. Most of these nice tonearms come from Japan, an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. It's easy to see that depending on where the cable was, it could very well be in either excellent shape or in terrible shape. A lot of time the damage is hidden under the plastic insulation.
When new, my guess is that the cables were of high quality, after all they were to be used with a very high quality tonearm.

Yes - and if it avoided the tsunami, did it survive Fukuoka - has it been nuked.

Wow, an excellent idea, radiated cables! Wonder how much they could sell for?
Now that it's been proposed, lets see how long till someone brings it to market. Can't wait to read the description and how it's going to change the listening experience.  LMAO

you guys are laughing but I have bought some 6AS7G's from 1959 on their cardboard military boxes which could have perfectly been around Chernobyl, wish I would had a Geiger counter device to measure these and the japanese stuff too
