OK Fellow Philco collectors. I believe I have the actual model 52 GC that is pictured in the Philco Library Gallery. The one pictured in the gallery has the same hunk of wood missing from the trim at the top just to the right of the final and the same faded cloth. I bought it from a collector in southern IL just east of St. Louis over a year ago. The guy told me that Ron had stopped there to see it years ago due to its rarity. I just finished the restoration of the chassis and tonight I was able to repair clean and get the original clock running. Pretty excited about it to tell the truth. Not sure If I want to refinish it but I am looking for Insite on the correct speaker cloth and a source for it. I have a couple of shots attached. One shows the faded front view and another a shot from behind that shows what the pattern looked like. Anyone know where I can get this pattern of cloth or if it's even correct?
