Happy New Year!
I had two DAC90As in the workshop over Christmas. One came in to have a vintage style braided cable fitted, which is a quick and easy job. The other was a complete restoration for friends, and it's currently waiting for a replacement wavechange switch. Somebody had completely wrecked the original by forcing it past the end stops!
It's been a while since I had so many sets of one type in the house, I decided to take a photo of them all together. The Ivory one and the one on the right are mine, the other two are the customer's.
The green document is a DAC90A sales leaflet produced by Selfridges in Oxford Street, London, circa 1955. Back then a brown DAC90A would have cost £16 and 15 shillings, and a cream coloured one would have cost a pound more.
I'm hoping to spend lots of dark January evenings in the workshop working through the 'to do'pile. Expect more radio recycling tales soon.
Keep listening!
