Ron,
Thanks so much for the fast reply and information. I will wear my reading glasses tonight to see the serial number. Your website's depth of information is truely awe inspiring. This model 90 is one of those stories I hear about but never experience for myself. Answered a Craigslist ad for a Philco mod. 90 without any pictures. After several days of waiting for an answer to my email(figuring it was long gone) a very nice gentleman gave me directions to his house-he still had it. Bought it for the advertised price of $75.00 and ran. All original with all globe Philco tubes. The 47 was very weak and replaced after recapping. Plays like a dream. I will need to replace the bottom trim piece as half of it is broken and missing. There is finger nail polish spilled all over the cabinet but I dont think it will be a problem to remove. Thanks to all at this site and at Nostagiaair for their help with cap values.
Jon.
