I wouldn't say a Philco 90 is "rare" but out here in Arizona they are a rare find. Found this one a few day ago and thought I'd post some pictures. All original other than the tubes. I just got done replacing the fabric power cord and chassis washers, now ordering the grille cloth from John. The cabinet, long ago someone started to remove the finish but luckly didn't go about it the "80 grit" sandpaper way, something I see a lot of. Chassis looks completly original underneath and no rust! I'm not really into the early stuff but this was hard to pass on at $100. I'm more into the Deco style consoles of 36' to 38'
