Every collector should have a 90, and maybe even a 70, in their collection; I personally consider them the most recognizable old radio from the depression era. And while Ron did an outstanding job of explaining the difference between the versions his last point about current prices is worth noting. If you can afford it, now is the time to buy one of these beauties. There are a lot of them out there so be patient and try to find one in really nice original condition.

Happy Hunting!
