Philco 39-80B
#5

Hi Charles and welcome to the group,

I've seen one of those sets. The grille cloth I don't think is in reproduction but you check w/ https://www.radiogrillecloth.com/ and see if he has any suggestions.

On the dial cover https://dialcover.com/ Mark is your guy. Send him the brass frame and he will install a new cover. It's plastic and has dinky rivets holding the cover in else you could just pop it in.

Here's a nice clean rendition of the service info for your set. https://philcoradio.com/library/download...%20308.pdf

I have one and restorted it some yrs ago. Finish was badly flaking and some black water marks on the sides. Refinish it and was able to lightly sand the black marks to a exceptable level. Grille cloth was pretty good. Chassis bad switch, battery cord, bad ground on 1A5 filament, burn up #25 800 ohm resistor, and had replacement opt. Replaced all foil and electrolytic caps.

After servicing it's a pleasant sounding set w/a surprising amount audio considering the 1A5 is good for .1 of a watt. It sound not quite as loud as a set with 50L6 but only draws 4ma plate current.
