Found a beat up 90 a few months ago locally (Craigslist). I had never tried any kind of wood work, but sometimes a total lack of knowledge isn't all bad - a kind gentleman on 'that other forum' helped me every step of the way. I screwed up my fair share, but stuck with it and now have a very nice looking radio. The chassis required the normal capping, I'm going to read more and tackle the bakelite blocks next. With the power supply caps replaced though, it plays nicely.
