91 GRILL CLOTH AND DECAL QUESTUION -
SJHJR - 06-18-2017
I am currently attempting to redo a 91-225 console model. My question is what is the correct decal for under the tuning knob, and the correct grill cloth type? I plan on purchasing these items from Radio Daze. Any help is greatly appreciated.

On my 91B (the cathedral style) the PHILCO is 1/4" high and 1.5" wide. That translates into Radio Daze:

The Grill Cloth on mine looks very much like the RAdio Daze Item:

Its also similar I think to the Whisky Rayon that Kenneth Richmond offers:

Thank you, Bob. The Radio Daze GRC-02 looks like the right one.

Anyone??? I think I've found the correct grill cloth, but still unsure of the decal. Looking at some residue on the front of the cabinet, there appears to be a line under the word PHILCO. It looks as though it is part of the original decal.

Bob already answered the decal question - you want DCL-PH8. The illustration on their website is not the same as the actual decals you will receive. The actual decals are the correct font for all 1932-36 and very early 1937 Philcos including model 91.
The PHILCO decal did not have a line under it originally.

Thank you. I wasn't sure if the cathedral style decal was the same as the floor console. Next question. The cloth covered power cord color, is it brown or gold?

Originally brown.
