I just remembered, Philco also made a variant of the 70/90 cloth that had a copperish hue. This was once available from Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters, but no more since they're now history. Perhaps this is what your 84 had originally? If so...you're stuck with using the whiskey rayon as is, or attempting to dye it.

Whiskey hue:

Copper hue (it was a darker copper than this):

Just don't try to order from this site - it is on the Internet Archive. The actual site no longer exists in this form - it's been changed to "The Radio Mad House" or something like that, and there is no cloth for sale there.
