Grill cloth philco 40-180
#11

Hi,
The cloth I seen at Radio Daze was a cloth that had a pattern on it, ad for me it's not the same I wouldn't use it.

In other words that cloth shown was made to be seen. Even though the 40-180 was mentioned in their cloth description, it's not even close. Maybe some of the other models mentioned would show of that cloth.
But truthfully how much of the cloth do you see between the grille bars on the 40-180? My main point is that the cloth they are selling is not correct. At least the small photo does not look the same.

If you want the cloth to look original, a little searching might find you something very close.
As suggested, I'd look for some mesh cloth from your fabric store. An open weave fabric or low thread count muslin.

We found a site that lists some similar open weave fabric. From these names of cloth, you can search more for other sources and suppliers.

If you want the easy way out, go ahead and buy something from Radio Daze, but is it were my set, and I wanted to be very close, I'd search more. Hopefully that site will give you some names to look up ar ask your fabric store. Next time I go to the fabric store with my wife, I will see if they have something just like this. I will carry a photo of the speakerboard with me, otherwise they would have no clue as to what I was talking about Icon_smile

Good luck,
Gary..
