I had a Tange sealed unit very similar to the one above, from 1983. It was an early cartridge unit and had the two-side adjustable alloy cups like Phil Wood uses for an adjustable chainline. It still spun smooth as silk almost 20 years later. It was in a long spindle size for a triple crank, of no use to me, so I eBayed it... it fetched a handsome sum, for reasons unbeknownst to me.
