How horribly tragic about that cloth, Art! 
What was it about women putting potted plants that required copious amounts of water on top of electrical devices??? My old (previously replaced) grille cloth looked almost identical to your old replacement from afar (faded white). Your set REALLY looks awesome!!! These are powerful performing radios and well worth the effort to restore! I think I really have acquired a passion for these Philco sets as of late, and thus far have rejuvenated 2 consoles and have given one to my sister, now this one to my brother. 2 down and 6 more to go for the rest of my siblings (and myself)... This may take awhile...
