I just sold a Sony ICR-90 after replacing a battery and one capacitor on the pc board. Also having several SOny ICR-120s on hand, I noticed the circuits appear identical. In fact, besides the "ICR-90" stamped on the back cover, all parts of the radio are interchangeable.
Early Sony advertising suggests the ICR-90 as being the world's smallest radio with a loudspeaker in 1968. The original owners manual is largely in Japanese.
It may be that the ICR-90 was first sold in Japan; when it became successful, it was marketed to the rest of the world as the ICR-120 in 1969. If anyone can confirm this, or add further information, it would be appreciated.
