Have recently got another of these beauties but notice subtle differences to my other being the tuning glass writing and logo is more green than yellow, the front two knobs are deeper and the chesnut finish is much darker.

Were there many variations I wonder?

Forgot to also mention the metal grille, one gold the other more silver and finer in mesh. The photos have come out slightly strangely as the lighter brown is the first photo.

Ah, yes Chris. The second picture shows the MK2. This was not produced for very long. It is characterised by the "chunky" knobs and green dial content. Ultimately this was replaced by the MK3 "Copenhagen" model with the perspex skirt around the knobs.

The last one (copenhagen scale) does not show the perspex skirts too well.

Hi Sean, I think there was also Radiophile article on the 90 and 90A variants some years back.
