Hi Folks,
Is anyone currently selling a good reproduction of the 38-890 grill cloth?

Thanks
Steve

Yeah, this one is not a chevron pattern.
Ask Mike Katz, if he has something that is similar.

Thinking of it, the cloth on both 37-690 and 38-690 is flat, no pattern, not embossed, pinkish-yellowish type.
If you have the sample, just find some that is similar density, structure and hue, and use it. It might not even necessarily be a grillcloth. Just some piece of whatever type is available and suitable for acoustic systems.
