Like I said the guys to talk to about reproducing grille cloth would be the same guys that reproduce, or at least retail, reproduction upholstery cloth for antique and classic cars, SMS in Oregon is one such outfit. The reproduction grille cloth wasn't that cheap in the first place, it was over $20 a running foot off of a 52'' roll for some of it, that's $60 a yard, so I think that they were pretty much charging what the market could bare already, any more then that and people start looking for substitutes. I've considered buying some at times but other then the Philcos and the occasional G.E or RCA set most of my sets used patterns of grille cloth that nobody reproduced anyhow. Even in cases where there was a replica cloth it wasn't economically feasble to order one, on a radio worth $40, $50, or $100 it isn't worth spending 1/2 that on a grille cloth. At least the templates for weaving the repro patterns exist, that will make it easier for the next guy to have them reproduced.
