There were several versions of the famous Bush DAC90A radio. The radios were basically the same but the dial glasses and knobs differed. The cabinets also varied from ivory to brown or black Bakelite. Pictured below are four variants. I will be adding more as and when I obtain photos.
This is the famous ivory version. The dial print is green and gold and there are small holes stamped in the speaker grille.
On the above version, the dial print is yellow and there are large holes stamped in the speaker grille.
On this version, the dial print is yellow and red andthe holes stamped in the speaker grille are large.
On this version, the dial print is green and gold and there are small holes stamped in the speaker grille.

On this version, the dial background is gold with gold lettering and there are small holes stamped in the speaker grille.
Again, notice the different knobs.
The Bush DAC90A radios are extremely popular amongst collectors for several good reasons. Firstly, they are small and work very well as every day radios. They are relatively cheap and their reliability is second to none. They are also simple to use, have a built in aerial and, last but not least, they look nice.

A WORD OF WARNING
I've recently had two Bush DAC90A radios brought to me for repair. Both radios were purchased from an auction web site as "fully restored". Unfortunately, someone is managing to get vintage radios working - and then selling them as fully restored. If the radios I saw are anything to go by, the seller should take up fishing instead of playing with radios. To save yourself time, money and disappointment, make sure that you only buy your radios from a qualified engineer.
