A long time friend brought me a 38-7 console for me to restore for them..  The cabinet is in nice shape and the chassis has been restored.  Just needing some "G" style tubes and a Patent Label.

I'm starting on the cabinet and as usual have a few questions.

1) Here is a picture of the grill cloth.  It's in nice shape with just a little snag on the left side but pretty dirty.  Any good way of cleaning this thing?  If not I'll go to Radio Daze and get some new stuff.

2) What are these things on the bottom near the legs?  They look like they work off of some kind of cam action.  Are they early style levelers or just left over from the shipping crate?
