Thanks. I will contact Brett. I doubt that he has any of the wheat pattern cloth left but I will ask.
Greg, I do like the pattern in your first link. To me it is reminiscent of the pattern used on some Philco Tropics and export/English Philcos.
Well, I received notice from Radio Daze that my order shipped today. That's not bad, just eight days from order to shipment. It took longer the last time I ordered a dial scale. Maybe because I ordered two this time  One for the RCA and one for a Philco 89 I have here.

The pinout is the same but the 5U4 has a 3 amp filament, verses 2 amps or less on the 5Z4. I think that the pinout of a ...Arran — 12:04 AM |
