Vintage DIN phono cables, any good?


The question is about old DIN tonearm phono cables for the top of the line vintage Japanese tonearms. 
I wonder how good those old cables are compared to the mid priced new cables ?

For example an old Audio Craft, SAEC, Fidelity Research, SONY  cables made for their top of the line tonearms are good? It's easy to replace an old RCA connectors, but what about the cables? Some of them are silver and must be a good quality. 

Any thoughts? 
Thanks

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. 
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
