Grille Cloth Discontinued
#28

Ron Ramirez Wrote:I agree with Arran. I've bought enough cloth to take care of the radios I currently have that need cloth. If someone puts cloth back on the market, I won't pay $75 for a piece of cloth.

You mean Radio Daze.

Actually, Mike Tobin at Rock-Sea corrected the PHILCO decal and sent me a few samples. (I just used the last sample a few days ago.) Unfortunately, this occurred at the time Mike was negotiating to sell out to Radio Daze, and for whatever reason, Radio Daze just kept producing the incorrect decal.

I am going to attempt to contact them again this week, and if they ignore me again, I am going to pursue other avenues. We need to get the proper decals into production, just as much as we need good (and reasonably priced) cloth.

This is where I have to tip my hat to Mark Oppat. He produces reproduction dial scales to replace both the translucent light brown and the later glass dial scales. The artwork on his is correct - the artwork on Radio Daze's "glass" (actually plexiglas) is not.

Yes, Radio Daze too, but I assumed that the error occured with Rock Sea and was never corrected. However I was not too impressed by the dial scale I bought from Rock Sea for a Stromberg Carlson, while the artwork was correct the background colour was too light, while it does work it really is no better then a laminated colour photo copy. I bought one of the glass dials from Radio Daze, it was accurate and well done, why they have to reproduce their new ones on plexiglas is beyond me as plastic is more costly then real glass.
Regards
Arran
