Philco 90 - Which Version?
#6

I think that would be a split between the early 90 without AVC but with the "normal-maximum" switch and two 45 output tubes; and the late version 90 with a three gang tuning condenser, 260 kc IF, and two 47 output tubes.

The one in the middle, with single 47 output, is the easiest to find, with the early version close behind. The "late" version is hard to find in cathedral form.

A lot of collectors want the "early" version because of the "normal-maximum" switch and dual 45 outputs. There are some who want the "late" version due to its relative rarity.

All three, however, are still highly collectible and desirable radios. Their prices crashed with the economy, though; they had reached a peak of $700-800 before dropping back into the $300-500 range. Still much, much more affordable than a Zenith Walton - and better looking, too.
