With over fifty years experience in vintage radio repair and restoration, I know the Bush DAC90A inside out. I’ve repaired and restored hundreds of different makes and models of valve radios, but I’ve dealt with more DAC90A radios in their brown or ivory Bakelite cabinets than any other radio. These radios are popular among collectors because they are a small table-top model which look good in any room, they sound great, they are relatively inexpensive, they are reliable... It’s no wonder that the Bush DAC90A is sought after by collectors the world over.

SERVICE MANUAL PREVIEW
The original Bush service manual for the DAC90A, issued by Bush Radio in April 1950, is available to members. Here's a taste of what's inside.
These pictures are faded on purpose, just for this preview. Members get the complete manual, unfaded, to view and download.
The manual includes:
- The full circuit diagram and valve base connections
- Capacitor, resistor and coil values with Bush part numbers
- Step by step IF and RF alignment
- Valve voltages and currents
- Fault finding notes for the AF, IF and RF sections
- How to dismantle the set and fit a new cord drive
- Labelled photos of the top and underneath of the chassis
