My oldest daughter has been after me to restore a radio for her since she saw my Philco 66 cathedral sitting in my living room. I've been looking at EBay lately and I get depressed seeing what even a trashed out cathedral goes for these days, so I was wondering if any of you have suggestions about a cathedral with halfway decent sound and reception that is also aesthetically pleasing that I could purchase and restore for under $200 including purchasing the radio, electronically restoring it myself, and doing some hopefully minor cabinet work?
I should say that I've been doing this hobby for about two years, now, have a decent number of tools and test equipment, so I don't anticipate having to farm out any of the labor (besides that is sort of the point).
Philco is, of course, my favorite, but I'm open to anything.
For ideas, here (imperfect as it is) is what she fell in love with:
