Well, I couldn't help myself.  Never seen one of these before and it kind of just asked me nicely to buy it... Seems they might be a little bit rare?  According to the gallery there were only 7500 made, including the battery sets... Is there a near enough approximation in grille cloth available for these?  It almost looks a little like the 60 style but not quite.

Interestingly enough - it looks to have the same speaker plug the 38 I got the other day has... feast or famine!  I'd never seen an early Philco with a speaker plug on it until about a week ago - now I own 2!

I should be all good for radios to restore now for a while... as if I wasn't already Icon_razz
