  the model 90 cost $69.50 according to the 1931 brochure.  Adjusted for inflation in todays money that would be $1,428.10.  CRAZY!  Beautiful radio my friend.  I got a pristine example of a model 90 just today.  I love it.

  It looks like the first restoration did not “stuff” the Philco Bakelite units.  They just soldered in new capacitors externally. I have a model 70 that I restored years ago the same way. Friends of mine have criticized me and said I should have melted the old inards and put the caps inside the Bakelite cases. So really don’t know what is best.

  Hello. For tjhe more technically interested guys, is this already a superheterodyne receiver ?<br>What is the IF ? Long time ago they used 110 Khz. Four varable &nbsp;tuning cap&apos;s ? Why ? <br>Some detailed explanation using the schematic would reveil a lot to the technique, used in those days. <br>Most kindly, from an old technician in Belgium.

  Do you have any details on your AM antenna build that you would be willing to share? I need one and yours looks pretty impressive.
