Hello Andy,

Your TR90C came out really well and being a TR90C rather than a TR90D (with the earphone socket on the front) it wont have any of those awful AF117 transistors inside. Ive bought 3 of them, none are brilliant

The worst problem with these is the tuning scale, the station print tends to vanish or the whole thing goes black, but yours is fine

I might have an unpitted chrome trim for yours btw.
