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.

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