Hi guys,
Jerm, I think the cloth at Radio Daze is only a suggestion as mentioned in their description.

Curiosity got the best of me today, and I removed the speakerboard. You can see that this is the original cloth mesh. The unfaded parts were protected by the cabinet, so this is the true color.
Of course, the other exposed parts have faded somewhat.

There is no pattern other than what is seen in the photos.

So, it's up to you what you want, but if I had to do mine again, I'd use the mesh stuff as original.
Hope thse new photos help you decide, the others were hard to see between the grillebars.

Take care,
Gary.
