The cathedrals are all classics.
I know what you mean. I've got an AK40(sounds more like a gun than a radio ) very utilitarian but at the same time very well made and good quality...Had that thing nearly a decade before I got to it. My best friend from college had/s one that came from a realative and had been passed down since new. He wanted it fixed, and wanted my help. I had only done one 20s set up to then, but was willing to try since I had a complete parts set. It went well enough that I did mine within about a year. It is real novel to think I'm listening to a radio that is a decade shy of a century old!
Someday I'm going to find a decent AK cathedral that won't scare my inner cheapskate...Till then the 40 is good enough for me.
