I have the same unit, but I decided to replace rather than repair. The old grille cloth was so deteriorated, you could sneeze a hole right through it. But for less than twenty bucks, there are lots of options for replacement grill cloths. My question before I install the new stuff, what is the best method to adhering it to the backboard? I would think a spray adhesive would work fine, but I want to hear from somebody with experience before I possibly screw this up.
