I removed the speaker board today to take a look at what was under a rather bland piece of canvas which had been stapled on top of the original grille cloth in the 38-1 cabinet I recently acquired. Took pictures of both the canvas and the original cloth. The pictures tell the story. Obviously the original is ruined because of the staining. Too bad someone spilled something---at least that's what it looks like to me. I don't believe any way exists to remove the stain. Other than that, the cloth is in remarkably good condition, especially that inch strip around the perimeter which was hidden by the cabinet wood!. There is a slight fray on the left side of the speaker cutout. Other than that, the fabric is in pretty good shape---sans stain.

So now I wait for SOMEBODY to make reproductions available
