Just purchased a pair of 12b's and I need to get cloth for one. I have the frames, one has been recovered and not well, it is also too transparent. Looking for original if any one is parting one out. Thanks

I believe they used the same cloth as the grills. Chances are you will not find an original cloth set, I've read that there are great after market alternatives that are even better than what was used originally. Do a quick search on grill cloth and i'm sure some suggestions will come up.
Best of luck!Just a dude doing dude-ly things

I understand that there are cloth alternatives, but the originals are sewn together. The one that I have that was repaired is stretched and stapled and just does not match.

Not sure how to check pm's on an iPhone.

Sorry, missed my messages -
Thank you for the pics. As I go over the pictures, I see several differences between your two and the ones I have. I am going to keep looking for a closer match. Again thanks for the time and effort.

Differences yes. That's what I was describing in the pm. Intact hats are tough to find - good luck!"Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills/jantzen inductors, Gimpod's boards, Lg Solen SDA inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips, interior of cabinets sealed with Loctite Power Grab, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer

I appreciate what you were trying to say about the mounting being different, but even the way the cloth is applied is different. Mine do not have cloth on the back, they are wood and the cloth is not stapled, it is held by a plastic roping in a groove similar to the way a screen is installed in a frame.
Again thanks.
