Hi guys. I was wondering if a person can get exact replacement grille cloth and decals knobs for a Philo 42-345. Thanks! Brian

Welcome to the Phorum!!
Check RadioDaze for decals.  The knobs on that one are a little unusual so try the folks that Ron has listed as resources for knobs.  David, Julie, Kelton and Mike supply original knobs.  I've bought from all but Kelton in the past.  You may have to try them all as they don't have every knob for every radio. The grill cloth looks a bit like the whiskey rayon that Kenneth Richmonds sells but its a little hard to see in the 42-345 photos I was looking at.  
Cheers,
Bob

no no no whiskey rayon!


It is like carpeting and I used one off ebay that matched pretty good.
