They're easy to restore, and they usually perform quite well despite the cost cutting designs.

The only poor performing AA5's were the GE's that used the Autodyne converter circuit. They seemed to do that so they could use the same osc and 1st IF coil, as in their cheap and nasty 4 tube sets.
They only did it for a few years, as their customers found, that they didn't receive as well as the competitive makes.
