Hi group:

Picked up a Philco 18H this past week. The chassis is original with all its tubes and all the knobs. Unfortuantly  it is missing its speaker (and grill) - appears someone just smashed it in. Does anyone have a highboy like this that could take a high res. photo of the grill?  I would like to scale it up and use it to trace a new one - and if you know of anyone with a speaker that would work that would be nice to find too! Here are some photos:

Hi Andy, welcome to the Phorum!!
Hopefully someone will be able to help you out with the grill. Post the speaker request in the "Wanted Ad" section...better chance of a response there.
Cheers,
Bob
