Christmas gift radio suggestions?
#10

With all due respect probably not, but likely over $200, but after refinishing and electrical restoration it will be up to or over $400. What's more, as Mike stated, model 90s are not particularly good sounding sets, in large part because of the stiff spider in the speaker, the one my uncle had was always a bit muddy sounding. I think that a model 18 or 118B would be a winner, push pull triode connected type 42s, it will blow any 90 out of the water, plus it has AVC and one some 118s short wave.

Arran
