Great find! Is that a model 97, or model 98E? The 98E is similar to the 97, I think, but was made only for export.

Grille cloth - this pattern was being reproduced at one time. Radio Daze has brought it back. Although it doesn't look quite the same as the cloth John Okolowicz was selling when he was in the business, it is a reasonable substitute.

Unfortunately it is listed as being "on backorder." Hopefully they will be restocking this pattern.

If they get more in stock, the green threads should run top to bottom, not side to side as shown in their photo.
