Happy to report I am the new owner of a 1931 Philco 212 radio-phono. Not very common with a unique grill cloth that is shown in the attached. I want to recreate the grill cloth - but how? should I try for the photo finish route? [

THAT'S and extremely hard cloth to try and re-create! It's possible that you could have a small custom weaving outfit try to copy it...
I have a Concert Grand and I have the same problem of a damaged grille cloth and a special demask pattern. I've been able to locate a close replacement.
This almost looks like a gobelin (tapestry). To recreate this you might spend enough money to by an unrestored 1000Z. Or maybe even a restored one.
This is going to sound unorthodox, but you might try a silk-screen T-shirt shop. The pattern could be reproduced, and then screen inked onto the closest matching fabric you can get. It wont have the texture of the original, but should make a respectable replacement. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
I once bought a Radiola 103 speaker grill cloth from the radiolaguy.com (
https://www.radiolaguy.com/Radiola_103-s..._Cloth.htm ). It was printed on a cotton cloth rather and a woven product but looked good. I'm not sure how he did it or if he shopped it out but you could contact him and ask how he did it.
