Picked up a 90 console today off of CL
A little moisture damage on the feet but appears unmolested.

Thanks, I almost gave-up on getting a reply from the CL seller.

I guess his Spam blocker was working overtime!

Tim, a very nice find and one of my favorites. I had a latter chassis and recently gifted the radio off to a friend for a house warming. Just need to make room for another console. Great radio.
