It's hard to tell from the picture, but your cloth looks like a generic pattern sold on eBay:

If that is your cloth then pick up some #1 from grillecloth.com as already suggested.

And congratulations on your new 90!

Yes Ron, That was what I was looking for initially although I got a little conflicted there when I was studying it thinking I might want the late version but the price coupled with the overall good condition convinced me to go ahead with this one.
I have a piece of the #1 grille cloth from John that I was going to put in my Zenith 10S130 but I may order the #2 and use for it instead if the #1 is correct for the 90.
Since I am going to probably be displaying bot of those sets pretty close to each other I would rather that the grill cloth not be identical on both sets.
thanks,
Frank
