Congratulations on finding the speaker. I missed that (I would not have bid on it anyway since my 41-788 is complete and my 42-788 has its original speaker also), but I think I bought the knobs from the same seller - I put them on my 42-788. I've seen the dial scales on eBay more than once, I guess the seller kept relisting them.
I recall junking either a 42-1008 or 46-1209, and the cloth was identical to the 41-788 cloth. I don't have any more; I used it in another project. You might consider this if you can find a junker 1942 or 46 Philco console.
I recently bought some #71 cloth from Radio Daze to put in my 41-758 Tropic. The #72 might have been a better choice. Pattern 71 has been discontinued now, as has 72, but Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters is still advertising "limited supply" on these.
