Hey philco people,

I am restoring an 84 or 84B?

I am currently purchasing grill cloth for 5 different radios and have wasted about $50 because the one that arrives is not the same as i thought it was. not the pattern but the color.

I got the grill cloth from radiodaze but it is gold, not bronze. Is my grill cloth just really old and turned bronze?

I have added pics of the resto and the grill cloth.

I added a pic of the grill cloth I want from richmond designs but hopefully someone has it and can verify the color... Cough, Cough, RON Icon_shifty

I guess someone can clarify if it is an 84 or 84B if you really want to also.

Thanks
Kirk
