Here are my recommendations.
1. Philco 19LZX Control Unit
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-86-item-grc86/
The closest thing you are going to find. The original pattern was never reproduced. The old Okolowicz (Grille Cloth Headquarters) #40 was a good substitute, but no longer available.
2. Philco 19LZX Speaker Unit
Ditto #1 above.
3. Philco 20
I'm not sure what to suggest here. The original didn't really have a pattern. The old Okolowicz #52 would have been what you wanted, but again - no longer available.

4. Philco 38-23X
That pattern was never reproduced. This would be a good substitute:

5. Philco 60B, early :
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs.

6. Philco 60B
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-05-item-grc05/
I was surprised to find this pattern is available again.
7. Philco 66
This pattern was never reproduced. A good substitute would be the "Soldier Gold" from Richmond Designs.

8. Philco 80 Jr.
You want the "Small Herringbone" cloth from Richmond Designs. Perfect reproduction.

9. Philco 70 and 10. Philco 90
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs.

You're welcome.

Anyone have a pic of a cloth in the philco 20 that you like?
Also would like to see the chevron in a 70 or 90 or whiskey rayon or any cloth really.
Thank you for the help Ron, I am taking most of your recommendations and getting some cloth.

Chevron in the 70/90?!?
NO!!!
I gave you the wrong link, sorry. Here is the correct one (and I will also correct my post above):
http://www.radiodaze.com/grille-cloth-02-item-grc02/ OR
"Whiskey Rayon" from Richmond Designs.
http://www.richmonddesignsinc.com/grille...oduct_page
NOTE: This also applies to your early model 60.

I think your 80 is fine the way it is.
So seems to be the 90.
Both need cleaning, this is it.
Your 20 has wrong, albeit Philco, bottom knobs.

Yes it does and I am not replacing the cloth that is savable. Just wanted to know if it was correct for those models.
