I'm not sure about the model 20s but forum member Steve Davis reproduces some Philco cabinet parts. That grille has a lot of missing pieces, it would be almost as much work to repair as it would be to make another. Those grilles are notorious for breakage at the best of times, but that one looks like it was subjected to some moisture damage as well.
