The old 38-1 grille cloth
#7

Super result with the spray can Nostalgia Radio Time! If bald guys can spray hair in a can I say why not grillecloth. Where swapping out a grill cloth may not be as challenging on some sets as the electronic work I would humbly offer that to find a close substitute in a Fabric Shop or the like and using it until you can locate a more authentic repro down the road is not the end of the world. If you can get something pleasing to the eye that lets you enjoy your set, go for it. Always can replace later.

As a kid I cut some ersatz grille cloth off an old chair going to the dump for a Silvertone, did the job, did not look too bad either.Icon_eek
