My 70 is the non-avc type with the dual controls, so it would be OK to clean and lubricate. The 90 I have is the mid type with the single 47 tube and the 500K pot. I have noticed that the pot looks to have a removable cover on the back of it, which I thought may be indicative of the older style construction. The pot is not noisy so cleaning is not so much of an issue. But, it is very stiff and could use a good dose of lubrication.
