Last minute decision to stop at an antique shop on the way home today had the Philco Gods smiling down on me.  Found in the wild a model 90 that was priced at 325 got it for half of that and smiled all the way home.  Now comes the hard work of rearranging the Philco cathedral wall to make space for it.

Very nice. Very clean chassis.
And even the finish and the grillcloth are in that category "could think of leaving it be". Show the respected and graceful aging.

Congrats. $160 - very good price.

Thanks!!  I never thought I would find a 90 in this shape for this price.  Feeling pretty good about it for sure.
