 Hi Edisla ive got some cloth you may like for your radio, its hard to tell the original was like but this may work. Its the cloth on the right, I was comparing it to my grunow  teledail cloth in my radio.

Hmmm

Is it really shiny gold or is it a little dull?

It is kind of hard to tell. I would prefer no to be to shiny.

Its has a satin look to it, it is not shinny and looks to be a cotton rayon mix which was used for speaker grill cloth as far as I know. It is a nice pattern which could be used on a number of antique radios , that's why I bought it for my stash of cloth. I just thought I could help you in this very difficult time choosing fabric for your radio. Icon_wtf

You can also try your local fabric store to see what they might have. It takes a bit of walking around and sorting through bolts but sometimes you come across a nice fabric. We have a Joanne Fabric that has a pretty good inventory.

How big a piece do you have and what are you looking to get for it?

I can sell you the size you need for 15$ plus shipping around 5.00$

Checked Joanne's today and though I did see some things that could work I don't feel they were right for this unit.

Looks like I would need a 15 1/4 x 21 1/2. I'll probably measure a few more times just to be sure ;)

Fred Taylor I'll probably be PM'ing at some point soon.

Fred Taylor check your PM ;)

RE: What grill cloth for 42-1008P? - Edisla - 04-29-2015

I guess I'm still in search of a good grille cloth.

Let me know if anyone finds anything that might fit this unit.

That looks very good. I thought that cloth would do the trick.
