Geoff,

Sorry about the dead thread revival, but I wanted to ask if the stuff from Radio Daze is as light as it looks in the pictures. The stuff from Richmond Designs is much darker, appropriate for the 1935-1937 sets. The Radio Daze cloth looks like the same pattern, just much lighter in color which might make it a "close enough" alternative for 1938 sets.

Yes, the chevron pattern from Radio Daze is as light as it looks in their photo. I just went to the Richmond Design page and found this:

I thought for $8- I'd order a chevron pattern and see how it compared to Radio Daze. But when I clicked the link it took me to a diamond pattern for $8-. I checked his other items and his website but did not see any auction that gave you a choice of any pattern at 10" x 12" for $8-. Oh well.
