What my 16B looked like when I got it and then....
#15

Ron,

Yes Sir, I read your last post:

"I have no idea. Please edit your last post and try again."Icon_lolIcon_wink

Heck, I even read your last post before that one, but....it didn't answer Art's question about the small chevron pattern in the advertisement.Art wanted to know about the grille cloth that was pictured in the ad.

"Wondering if the chevron cloth in this ad was original stuff."

I realize Art knew the pattern in his wasn't correct. Art's pattern was used in '38 as in my 38-4. I stated that I was guessing about the years that had that particular pattern, too lazy I guess to get up & look what my 37-116 & my 38-690 had.

Human nature, if someone is in a quandary about what particular pattern they need, they must understand the differences between the two cabinets. That's why Art asked about the smaller pattern(smallest) in the advertisement.

I brought up the cabinet differences because about every 6 months on Both Phorums, people discover this difference. Thought it was a good time to point it out while viewers had the opportunity to see both photos in the same topic that Art posted.

The first pic Ron's shows is the pattern in my 37-116. Maybe Ron can post a pic of the Small pattern that is in these early version styles that is pictured in the ad. I was just collaborating that the ad's pattern was correct to answer Art's question. Art was asking if it was a close facsimile... 1&1/2"-----3/16" spacing & repeat, between the two *chevrons* patterns isn't that close.

I do know that the cloth in Art's cabinet is for a console. Maybe someone here that has the later version of this cabinet style can post a pic with the correct grille cloth.

Art,
Did you notice the difference in the "front roof line" between the two cabinets? With all the Love & Effort you put in these Two Orphans let's hope Mr. Richmond will "hook(all of Us)up"Icon_wink

Kenny has a TOP 10 sales list. After a few "Z" patterns are out, I'm sure the Philco *Chevrons* will be coming.Icon_smile

Now to figure out where that "Quote" button is,Icon_confused
