Where would be the best place to find the most authentic replacement fabric for my model 70 philco? I checked radio daze for instance, but the give different colors. How do I know what the correct color should be, as I have a non authentic cloth in there right now, and have no basis for reference?

Sometimes reversing the reproduction fabric gives a more "realistic" rendering of the original grille cloth. Frank
