Old Boy IM Corona

I know these lighters are held in high esteem by many. I’ve seen that 60’s and 70’s models are fairly reasonable in price (less than new). Any drawbacks to these older models?

If they are butane, the seals may be a concern in a vintage lighter. They can be pricy to have replaced.

I believe there was a period where the quality suffered. The current models under new ownership several years ago, are much improved.
