What grille cloth do you guys recommend for the model 70? I normally use http://www.grillecloth.com/. I read some postings where Pattern #1 was used. Has anyone tried pattern 24 (Philco, weathered look)? I do not have an original to compare with in this case.

Also, I assume the correct cloth for a model 37-620 is pattern 14 (Ribbed), with the ribs vertical. Correct?

Thanks!

I use pattern #1 for most Philco cathedrals made through 1933, since this is the correct, original pattern for these (exceptions being models 80 & 81). I don't care for the "weathered look," it does not look original at all. Pattern #1 does look original.

Yes.
