Japan made a mess of what they made during that war.  First off, the batteries for the R 300 radio that we used, were dead when we opened a new carton of them.   Maybe one would work, if we were lucky.  Japan also reconditioned much of what we used during 1951 and that was good for the junk pile.  I remember it well.
