philco 84 restoration grill cloth question
#20

(01-17-2014, 10:58 AM)OldRestorer Wrote:  Hey philco people,

 I am restoring an 84 or 84B?

 I am currently purchasing grill cloth for 5 different radios and have wasted about $50 because the one that arrives is not the same as i thought it was. not the pattern but the color.

I got the grill cloth from radiodaze but it is gold, not bronze. Is my grill cloth just really old and turned bronze?

I have added pics of the resto and the grill cloth.

I added a pic of the grill cloth I want from richmond designs but hopefully someone has it and can verify the color... Cough, Cough, RON :shifty:

I guess someone can clarify if it is an 84 or 84B if you really want to also.

Thanks
Kirk

Hi Kirk,

What did you ever do for matching the grille cloth for the copper tone needed? I have models 84 and 19B, which I have the same issue, and I still continue to look for the best replacement match. I tried to include an attachment (which clearly shows the copper tone), but couldn't easily reduce the size to under 500k on my iPad...

Thanks, Mark
