Just got a model 90
#1

I just bought a Philco Model 90 for $60.00 It is complete. All knobs in excellent condition. The chassis is in pretty decent shape, both copper caps still there, but the rear 1/4 left side is rusty where something that looks like and smells like the sludge that drips out of your barbecue grill spilled on it. The cabinet is in very good shape and solid, but again the sludge ruined the finish so I am re-finishing. After I'm done with the cabinet I'll start on the chassis and see what that leads to. I broke the dial bezel while stripping the cabinet, broke one corner off. Several salty words were bandied about immediately afterward. Cannot find the piece. Great Northern Antique radios advertises one for $20.00 I believe. Even if I never get it operational, it is a beautiful classic radio and will look great in the house when done. Sorry I cannot post pics due to work policy about loading pics on to our computers. Maybe later.
