I am stumped. Can anyone help me locate a n.o.s. remnant (or more) of original (or very close replica) Philco automobile grill cloth to match the original in the photo below. Radio is circa 1937. I need at least 7" diameter.

Cordially,
John

Since radio grille cloth is not reproduced in as many patterns as it once was, I'm afraid you will have to settle for the closest thing you can find.

On eBay: richmonddesignsinc , brets-old-radios , possibly a few others
