That "weave" looks very similar right enough. In the back of my mind I am convinced that I have also seen the cloth used by philco in my photo on later amplifiers. I recall it in a green, silver and the above bronze colour.
I also recall that philco 2620 sporting the chevron patern cloth.
I have just finished fitting the cloth to the cabinet I have restored. Glue will be set in the morning so I will post a photo and welcome comments.

I am a member of some of the uk radio forums. I think I will start a thread there and see what info is around re the production of those cabinets in the uk philco plant. I will report back of course.

As a matter of interest. What is the most commonly sought after patern of philco grille cloth apart from chevron or those now being reproduced. ie. cloth patterns no longer being reproduced but in demand by restorers. ?
Regards all.
Willie.
