Freshly restored 47-205
#5

Thanks for the tip! Good to know, I will bookmark his website for future use. As for this model, since I only have the $10 invested, I think I'll just leave it as is. The more I look at it, the more I think, with the square, flat front, that a flat glass actually "blends" in with the grille lines better. I think the only reason it had the convex plastic was because it was used on the 47-204 "sister" set, that had the wide plastic frame around the speaker and dial. Philco just "double-dipped" into its parts inventory to save on having to make a new mold! :-) Here's a pic of the 204 for comparison:
