Cloth replacing Philco 20.
#4

Thanks everyone, very helpful.

TA Forbes:

>>FYI if you have speaker screws that will go through the grillecloth, I prefer to apply a dab of glue to the "frame" where the holes for the screws go through. Before the glue is completely dry, I use a punch to put holes in the grillecloth for the screws. The glue will harden around your holes and prevent "runs" in your cloth when you put the screws through it.


This is an excellent point, as I'd imagine this is an easily overlooked effect - holes ruin the integrity of the cloth and will become points of running, unless secured with something.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
