Nice, your 90 still has the copper Mershon capacitors that look beautiful when polished up a bit.

Both those radios look great, especially that Philco table model. Usually those are well beaten on when I find them around here.
No matter where you go, there you are.

The contrast between the wood finish, the cream paint, and the grille cloth on the table model is sharp.
