91 GRILL CLOTH AND DECAL QUESTUION
#1

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:
http://www.radiodaze.com/philco-8-decals-dcl-ph8/ I'm not sure if the console decals are the same or not.

The Grill Cloth on mine looks very much like the RAdio Daze Item: http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/

Its also similar I think to the Whisky Rayon that Kenneth Richmond offers: http://richmonddesignsinc.com/grille_cloth_product_page

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.
