Hi Arran

In my opinion...Dick Oliver is an excellent cabinet maker, so I would not hesitate to buy a repro cabinet from him, unless you can find an original cheaper (which I doubt).

Very early production "mid" chassis 90 sets (the ones using the single 47 output tube) had brass escutcheons, but this was soon changed to bakelite. At least this is true of USA made 90 sets.
