Here are my recommendations.
1. Philco 19LZX Control Unit
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-86-item-grc86/
The closest thing you are going to find. The original pattern was never reproduced. The old Okolowicz (Grille Cloth Headquarters) #40 was a good substitute, but no longer available.
2. Philco 19LZX Speaker Unit
Ditto #1 above.
3. Philco 20
I'm not sure what to suggest here. The original didn't really have a pattern. The old Okolowicz #52 would have been what you wanted, but again - no longer available.

4. Philco 38-23X
That pattern was never reproduced. This would be a good substitute:

5. Philco 60B, early:
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs. http://www.richmonddesignsinc.com/grille_cloth_product_page
6. Philco 60B
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-05-item-grc05/
I was surprised to find this pattern is available again.
7. Philco 66
This pattern was never reproduced. A good substitute would be the "Soldier Gold" from Richmond Designs.

8. Philco 80 Jr.
You want the "Small Herringbone" cloth from Richmond Designs. Perfect reproduction.
http://www.richmonddesignsinc.com/grille_cloth_product_page
9. Philco 70 and 10. Philco 90
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs. http://www.richmonddesignsinc.com/grille_cloth_product_page
You're welcome.
RE: Mucho Grill cloth! - OldRestorer - 02-04-2015
Anyone have a pic of a cloth in the philco 20 that you like?
Also would like to see the chevron in a 70 or 90 or whiskey rayon or any cloth really.
Thank you for the help Ron, I am taking most of your recommendations and getting some cloth.

RE: Mucho Grill cloth! - Ron Ramirez - 02-04-2015
Chevron in the 70/90?!? NO!!!
I gave you the wrong link, sorry. Here is the correct one (and I will also correct my post above):
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs. http://www.richmonddesignsinc.com/grille_cloth_product_page
NOTE: This also applies to your early model 60.
RE: Mucho Grill cloth! - morzh - 02-04-2015
I think your 80 is fine the way it is.
So seems to be the 90.
Both need cleaning, this is it.
Your 20 has wrong, albeit Philco, bottom knobs.
RE: Mucho Grill cloth! - OldRestorer - 02-04-2015
Yes it does and I am not replacing the cloth that is savable. Just wanted to know if it was correct for those models.
