Wind you up! Would we do this to you??
Can we have a white DAC90 at the top of the page instead (I've change my mind after all)
Rob (very mischieviously)
Go on then Rob - I'll settle for a white (cream?) one - much more cheerful. It reminds me of school dinner custard, and I used to like that!
Mine cost me £7.00 from Hornsea Radio Rally in 2010. It was quite shabby, but I was surprised that it was unsold at 12 noon. Even I have to say that it looks quite bonny after I'd restored it

I did a bit of work on it - despite my aversion to DAC90As, like most I guess, I've restored quite a few. I've attached a few pics of the cream one. Didn't need a new UL41, so was a bit cheaper to get going than they usually are. I'd restored several before the penny dropped that when replacing the waxy caps it's much simpler and quicker to simply clip the old ones off and use the spare tags which are flat to the tagboard. Just carefully bend them up and fit the new caps to those tags. It saves mucking about trying to de-solder the old caps.
Some pics below show what I mean.
Regards, David.
