[Drake] Replacement MS-4 Speaker Grille

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Folks:

New to the reflector, so please forgive if I'm asking an old question.

Building the Hageman Drake Het Osc Xtal Eliminator out of June '04 QST for 
a friend and wish to install it into an MS-4 speaker enclosure.

I've worked out all (I think) of the mechanical concerns, but I still need 
to find some perforated steel or aluminum stock to replace the existing 
MS-4 speaker grille. Does anyone have a source for stock which might 
suffice for this requirement? Our local hardware stores have already been 
visited and although they DO offer perforated stock, none of it has ROUND 
holes... all sorts of other designs, but nothing round.

For what it's worth, I have a number of assembly notes for this project 
which might help others. If you are interested, please drop me a note and 
I'll be happy to send them to you. If there's enough interest, I'll gladly 
post them here as well.

By the way, the new PC board for this project makes assembly SIGNIFICANTLY 
easier.
