Correct grill cloth for 16B cathedral
#1

What is the correct grill cloth for a 16B cathedral (5 band)? I've seen pictures with a white plain cloth (on mine now) and others with a brownish "chevron" pattern.

Thx

If you are talking about the cathedral, shown here:

then you want the 70/90 pattern, which is pattern #1 from Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters:

Yes that's my radio and it currently doesn't have the correct grill cloth.

Ron, thanks for the info.

Another question regarding the 16B cathedral:

What was the original veneer species used on the case, Walnut or African Mahogany?

Thx
