15x grill cloth
#1

WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD REPLACEMENT CLOTH FOR 15X. ? Or should I say what does original look like ? Maybe I can find something close. I need a good picture of what I should look like when new. Thanks Fred Taylor. Do you guys think maybe radio daze new pattern for 70-90 cathedral would work ? Icon_think

If it's the same as the 15DX, it looks like this.  https://flic.kr/p/bRtBux

Sort of black with copper and gold metallic threads.

The original pattern was never accurately reproduced.

John O. at the now-defunct Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters came fairly close with his pattern #40. Of course that does you no good now since it is no longer available!

The 70/90 pattern, such as Kenny Richmond's Whiskey Rayon, would work well as a substitute.

Thanks Ron, I went ahead and use the Radio Daze cloth for the 70 and 90 Philco cathedral radios. I had a full piece on hand and will do until something else better comes along

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
