I have found that my WWII gear is quite reliable when not being asked to survive the mechanical rigors of warfare.  An exception was my TBY transceiver that would fail if you looked at it crosseyed.  

Shaking due to travel, gunfire(incoming and outgoing), and engine vibration, and then humidity in high-impedance circuits, had to wreak havoc with the stuff in the field.
