I can tell you one thing it isn't that's a 38-116 chassis or cabinet. Will shoot for 38-2.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

I think Terry is right. I have one like it that i have not looked at in along time. My 38-116 is NOT like that!

Just take a look through the Philco Radio Gallery.

Yes but did it have the wide chevron grille cloth?

The 38-2 used the Philco "Ribbed" pattern originally, mounted vertically (up and down). Not the chevron cloth.

is anyone making repo speaker cloth

Radio Daze lists their GRC14 which is not exactly like the original, but is the best you can do now.
