[Boatanchors] Heath IT-12

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

The wire screen is apparently intended to maintain the case shielding.  I've worked on two & both were like that.  One required the screen to be replaced because the fabric had turned to dust.  Used a small piece of metal window screening & covered it with an off-white piece of needlepoint fabric.  It looks close to original judging from old catalog pictures & so much better than the one I didn't have to redo the screen.

Greetings,
I have a Heath IT-12 signal tracer that I am restoring. The front speaker
grill is not so good and I would like to replace it. Instead of a cloth it
is a wire mesh covered with some type of cloth material. It is probably a
light grey color but hard to tell exactly as I am sure the original has
faded over time.

I am looking for suggestions on how to replace, repair or restore this
mesh. Suggestions welcome and if anyone knows what the original color was,
please let me know.

Thanks, 73,
Keith ve3ts
