Yea Ed!! I understand!! I also enjoy the electronic restoration better than restoring vintage radio cabinets!! You did a GREAT job cleaning & bringing that mod 90 chassis back to life!! I would suggest doing a *full-recap* of all the chassis as well. Just my .02! Those other bakelight blocks are trouble "squeels", bypass caps waiting to happen sometimes!?? I ran across a mod 90 cathedral cab a couple yrs ago in E Texas at a antique shop (barn find). The cab was in very-poor condition, (been wet many yrs deterioration),.. missing much veneer & rear arch support,busted & missing wood spkr scroll-work,missing all orig knobs, the chassis was rusted, broken tube sockets, missing all tubes,missing spkr, etc!!! It was a real *trainwreck* Maximus!! The owner of the antique shop was asking $800. (firm)!!!.. because she had read in a vintage radio collectors guide for antique shops, that it was valued at that amt! She overlooked the part of "in good condition"!! I offered her $25 for it and she laughed at me!! Then I "counter-offered"!! I said I will take it off your hands if you pay me $25. just to "try" to salvage the rusty chassis!! She was offended!! (hee hee)! The cabinet was truly, absolutely, unrestorable dumpster materials only! Most of the veneers of orig plywood & cab trim was missing also!!
Just wanted to share a true Philco mod 90 "find" !! There out there!! Enjoy your Philco!! Randal
