It has more of a small checker board type pattern.I peeled off cloth from board backing & washed cloth in hot soapy water. Laid it flat on table to dry.Pattern 27 is wrong in that it looks more gold & wrong pattern.This is more a whiskey color than gold.The 2 screens are a gold tone but not a bright gold.I thought after the amount of dirt in water,they would be a brighter cloth- whatever color they are.The 2 screens hide them for the most part & these cloths are in great shape.Original it will be.
I hope I can luck up & find someone close by that can tune it up to play near 90-100%.
It is a nice sounding radio & great looking piece of late 40`s furniture. Born in 1955,I listened to a Philco PT-26 as a young kid. Local AM.Only radio I remember growing up as TV
came along with Roy Rogers, ect.This will be my 2nd Philco radio.I guess Philco was the only radio for my parents & grandparents.
