Greetings to all,

Well I've gone and done it. I had received a pretty nice RCA 100-A 
Loudspeaker from Bill,N3WM. I cleaned it up and gave it a nice overspray and 
was looking very sharp. Waiting to put on the gold touchup around the 
speaker opening. I also got reproduction speaker cloth from Radiola Guy. 
Today I was moving some long 2x4's and knocked the speaker off of the shelf 
and it hit the concrete floor and busted up in about 100 pieces. It put a 
nick out of my new floating lenolium. Bad day for me.

So...... I now have two pieces of reproduction grill cloth 8 1/2 x 11 
inches, two sets of grill retainer rings ( one cleaned up and ready to use), 
and a very nice original speaker for sale. I checked the speaker and it 
preforms as it should without any holes in the cone. I also have about 1/2 
pint of paint that matches the original color and a set of original screws 
and two original bottom panels (one with good label).  If interested give me 
an e-mail. Can supply pics upon request. I'm good in QRZ.

Thanks for listening to my stupid carelessnes.
Best regards,
Ralph Howes
