A Beginner's Journey: The Philco 40-190

Heavy sigh.... the speaker I got is in wonderful condition, but I had hoped to be able to skip a step... the mounting board it is attached to is smaller than the screw-holes in the cabinet where it is supposed to attach. I suspect that it was originally removed from a 40-180 or 40-185. I can make a new mounting board for the speaker, but I'd hoped for a clue (from existing holes) of the dimensions for the missing antenna brace. Fooey.
Fortunately a friend suggested to me that I pop up to the local radio museum (American Museum of Radio & Electricity in Bellingham WA) and see if they had a 40-190 so I could measure the missing piece.
