Grill cloth philco 40-180
#7

Hi,
So this stuff can probably be found somewhere, make a print of the photos and take it with you to the fabric stores. At least they may know what it's called.

Try to go to as genuine fabric store as Joanns, or Michael's fabric dept. leaves much to be desired.

You might just get a close pattern home dec or upholstery cloth to dye and install. You don't want something really pretty behind there 'cause it will be mostly hidden anyway.

By the way, the cloth I show, could have flaked off much of the fuzziness over the years. I can't remember what the unexposed areas looked like. They might have had more fluff on the threads originally.

Good luck,
Gary.
