I personally don't think those supports are going to make that much of a difference. Plenty of other radios out there that didn't use those and the grille cloth wasn't blown or sucked out of the cabinet ![Icon_e_wink Icon_e_wink](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
But if you want to keep things original, and I can understand that, forget the popsicle sticks, tongue depressors, and paint stirs. Do it right by getting an appropriate piece of backing board and make a new one. Either take Kirk up on his offer or send him the dimensions so he can send you a piece to make it yourself.
