I am finishing up on model 48-1270.I noticed that grill cloth is a problem now.Looking thru samples, I don`t see the correct cloth for my radio or its my old eyes.Does anyone know the correct number or pattern?? It was alot of fun digging out caps buried for eternity. I dont have a signal gen to tune it up precisely but tuned the best I could by ear.FM,SW,AM all play.I have worked on smaller tube radios,so this was a challenge.Its not a Zenith,but this radio is the memory of my grandmother who left it to me many years ago.I hope to find someone to tune it before it goes back in cabinet,all the radio people here in my small NC town are gone or died.I live on NC/VA line north of Greensboro,NC.

Thanks for any help,
Kim
