I just bought a Model 86 off the local Craigslist board. It has a broken wooden piece that went in front of the speaker. The four edge sections are there but that is it. Does someone have a model 86 that would be willing to make a tracing of the piece so I can make one? Thanks, I am new to the phorum but have several Philco radios that I've restored over the years.

I just found a guy with an 86 that had posted a youtube video about his new find and he is willing to trace out the speaker grille pattern for me.

So, it looks like I'm all set!

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
