That's an understatement! I am such a perfectionist, and both my Philcos need a bit of work, such as the grill cloth that is on the cathedral, is something from the back drop of Rowen and Martins Laugh In! Why someone put that in there-holy cow! The rest of the cabinet and chassis is sweet! But I couldn't take looking at that grill cloth. Then I located a place that has the original cloth I had been looking for! Ok, so When I get it and put it into the set, I can stand to bring it back up to the living space, where it can wait until I've had a chance to get in there and recap. I'm gonna be back here posting photos of the project (model 70) when I get the time.I'll even post a photo of the grill cloth I'm replacing!
