38-1 grille cloth
#4

Removed the old (previously replaced) "grille cloth" , which was an old, once green-now faded, whitish flower patterned living room curtain, which revealed a very nice, though tragically neatly cut, remnants of the original material underneath. Looking from the front you can see where the original material went all the way from the top to bottom of the sound board. About 3/4" on either side the edges sees the original cloth in a roughly 1 1/4" strip on the right side and tapering at the bottom to 3/4"; the left side 1" down to 3/4", revealing the Chevron pattern in its' shiny threaded light and golden brown brilliance, according to the way the light hits it. It really must have been magnificent when new!!! Ordered new cloth from Radio Daze LLC, as per Ron"s instruction. Can't wait till it gets here. Will have to look up the link to apply the new cloth, as I've never had to fool with any of that to any degree, as most all radio's I've had pass through my fingers always came with their original cloth in pretty good shape. There was one or two, maybe  Icon_think   It's been awhile...  Icon_biggrin
