Philco Junior - Model 80 Question
#12

Beautiful Junior! Icon_thumbup Very nice work, and you should be proud. I have one, but it has been molested a bit, including a toggle switch sticking out of one side, controlling who knows what?

I am just finishing a customer's 37-61F and I am getting ready to start on my own 37-650. I love floor models, and I believe that the Philco's of the late 30's had the most attractive styling. Many of them look like miniature skyscrapers.

You mentioned the person from whom you bought grille cloth. Is there a website, or some way that I can buy some? It looks like excellent cloth. It would be incorrect for my 650, but would look great on my Junior.

Michael
