Mon UGLY 9s262

Gene, I don't think anything on that cabinet is photo-finish, so you should be able to get rid of the green and tone it back the way it should be.

Unfortunately all the US grille cloth sellers are out of the two patterns that would be correct for that set. The swirl was the first one to sell out and I don't think the block lasted too much longer. There is a guy in Italy selling grille cloth and he still has some of the swirl pattern, but between his prices, the Euro exchange rate, and shipping you're probably looking at a good chunk of change for a console size piece.

I haven't talked to Kenny recently about his pricing, but I know he was excited about the quality of the cloth. He found an original piece of the swirl to use as a pattern because the reproduction stuff wasn't as exact as he originally thought.

For anyone looking for grille cloth until more reproductions come out there is a lot of cloth being sold on eBay. While you might not find an exact Philco, Zenith, etc. pattern, you might find something that at looks somewhat decent until you can locate something more exact. An eBay seller by the name of brets-old-radios seems to be selling some decent generic patterns.
