A-K's are darn good radios, and SUPER easy to work on, too. I've had several 55 and 60 sets, plus a 40 and I believe a 36. I think A-K were the first to use 8 ohm speakers (of course with a field coil, but if you bypass that on the chassis with a ~1000 ohm 10 watt resistor, you can directly connect a modern 8 ohm speaker.
