Philco 84 grill cloth

Just recently found them digging through my older stuff and there was one that was almost a perfect match. Didn't know if he was still in business. Oh well. I'll go with the Radio Daze as it is far better than what I currently have.

Yes, we all miss the old GCHC. The reproductions were for the most part, very accurate and the price was fair. I still don't know why the patterns/processes could not have been transferred - unless the "mill" was really old-time, meaning no computers.

That pattern you are looking for was used on Crosleys and Zeniths as well. I think it was the old pattern 24. What was confusing to most was the assertion that it was an "aged" Philco pattern - but it matched the un-aged grill cloth of these other brands.

   

Borrowed from OLD GCHC site.
