thanks guys for the support. the 90 is roaring now. i tried to realign the trimmer for the first detector that i just rewound and it didn't need any aligning. I can't believe how well the set picks up distant channels. The 90 truly lives up to its reputation. The speaker is original too and sounds like it's brand new. By the way- the wire I used was from ebay (brand: Temco) and had no problem fitting on the outer plastic sleeve of the coil. I heard this can sometimes be an issue. I'm starting on a phonograph restoration next so we'll see how that goes. Take it easy fellows-
