Hi Friends,

Back in July I found a forlorn Philco 212. The typical "sat in a barn for 50+ years".  Anyhow, I searched for a period-correct grill cloth for as a replacement for the unique one that was damaged - a 19th century kilim antique patterned fabric that turned out pretty good. A couple of photos of the before and after shots.  Spent all summer and fall rebuilding the cabinet and veneer. Now to finish up the chassis and freshen up the Capehart drop changer to finish her up.
