Is there a good reproduction grille cloth available for the Philco 20?

I think the only one that's close is the one Daze sells. Same goes for 16, 70, 90.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Sam Mashburn used to sell a Model 20 replacement cloth, but he has run out and won't be restocking (from what he told me a couple years ago).

Radio Daze doen't carry a model 20 pattern although they do carry a decent replacement for 70, 90, 71, 91, 16 cathedral, etc. (GRC02).

I was hoping to find some cloth closer to original. I stocked up on 70/90 cloth from Grille Cloth Headquarters before his stock ran out. I guess I will have to use some of that.
