Oh, no!  Not grille cloth again!  I’ve searched the forums but haven’t found a specific reference to version 2.

I finished the cabinet restoration a few days ago, but had second thoughts about the grille cloth.  When I acquired the set it had faded, worn & torn cloth which I assumed was original.  So I replaced it with closely-matching  Radio Daze GRC-03.  Since then I’ve noticed that none of the photos I’ve seen of a 60B Version 2 have this pattern--not even in a 1934 Philco ad picture.

The set has had some previous work done, but it’s pretty old.  One filter cap is replaced with a cardboard electrolytic from the Illinois Condenser Co, so how old might that be?

Do I have the wrong grille cloth?  If so, is an appropriate replacement available?

Thanks from a woefully disappointed…
Henry
