  Ralph:


  TubesandMore (Antique Electric Supply) has drifted more towards the electric guitar/amp crowd. Radio Daze is starting to stock radio grill cloth again. We'll see how many patterns they get. http://www.radiodaze.com/category/964.aspx


  The difficulty with the RCA 100A speaker is that it uses a very distinctive pattern. It wouldn't look right with a generic one. Several years ago, it was simple to get reproduction grill cloth for an RCA 100A speaker but not now. The 100A is a very nice speaker and worth the effort to find new grill cloth.


  You might try a classified ad on the Antique Radio Forum www.antiqueradios.com  A couple of years ago, when the company making reproduction grill cloth closed, a lot of collectors hoarded the remaining inventory. It was sheer panic buying. Perhaps you'll get lucky and some kind soul will have some that he is willing to part with.

    Hello Dan,
    I just called TubesandMore and they don't have any grill cloth for radios 
    anymore. Just for amps. Thanks for the info though.
