I'm not sure I believe it's 90. I think it's more like 15v. If you grab
both the tip and ring, you'll feel the current. I've felt the current on
more than one occasion considering my occupation and I can attest that 
if it was 90 or above, I would've known <grin>. Then again, I KNOW 
what 120 feels like for sure, but not 90.

I guess someone could look on the bottom of their analog set and
validate the voltage.
