I thought about the metric possibility, but I didn't think that Philco would be using metric hardware back in the 1950's. Then again, I'm so new at this (this is my first radio restoration) that I really don't know what I'm talking about. 
The grill cloth looks like it has some glue stuck to the back side, and it has been discolored by the stained backer board. I think it would be quite difficult to even out the color, and I have my doubts that it is salvageable. I probably won't end up with an "all original" radio, but that's OK, as long as the end result looks nice and can be a functional piece of furniture in the house.
