Oh, no! Not grille cloth again! I’ve searched the forums but haven’t found a specific reference to version 2.
I finished the cabinet restoration a few days ago, but had second thoughts about the grille cloth. When I acquired the set it had faded, worn & torn cloth which I assumed was original. So I replaced it with closely-matching Radio Daze GRC-03. Since then I’ve noticed that none of the photos I’ve seen of a 60B Version 2 have this pattern--not even in a 1934 Philco ad picture.

The set has had some previous work done, but it’s pretty old. One filter cap is replaced with a cardboard electrolytic from the Illinois Condenser Co, so how old might that be?
Do I have the wrong grille cloth? If so, is an appropriate replacement available?
Thanks from a woefully disappointed…
