Tnx for your input Brad,
I saw online a bunch of different cloths being used most of which I knew were not anything close to the original. I think this one maybe original but it's not being reproduced. http://www.tuberadioland.com/images/philco16b_i_7.jpg The dark one in my set is a replacement but I'm going to tighten it up a little and use it. Have some of the later chevron style use in the '36 and '37 or so models. Neither the dark or the newer style are a dead on match.
Only a couple more coats of lacquer and it's going all back together! Can let it cure for a good while before a buffing ans wax. It will be nice to be able to sit back and enjoy it. Darn thing takes up a lot of space when it's in 100 pieces!

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
