Grille Cloth for Model 43
#5

Here are some instructions on grille cloth installation from a fellow who used to supply grille cloth.  I do not do the starch bit and have only used an embroidery hoop once.  I generally spray some of 3M's 77 spray adhesive onto the backing board, apply the cloth to the bottom and work my way up the board keeping the cloth taut across the opening.  If you mess up, I've been able to peel the cloth off and try again if you don't wait too long.  

There is lots of advice on vintage radiio and in particular Philco radios on this PhilcoRadio.com site.  Spend some time looking around.  You can search the phorums for specifics.  There is an Important Restorations Topics and Useful Download Information.   Specific technical information can be found in the Tech Section.  Another good site for Philco radios is Chuck Schwark's Philco Repair Bench.  Chuck can send you schematics and all known dealer updates for only a few bucks or you can find a schematic on nostalgiaair.org.  Your radio will have bakelite block capacitors that you will need to replace or restuff with new caps in addition to electrolytic capacitors so you should read the info by morzh and view the Bakelite Block Capacitor page.  Many of the resistors will need changing as well.  

If you are new to vintage radio restoration, I'd review the info on Phil Nelson's site for beginners.  Lots of folks here to help you with your project!
