[Elecraft] Question re Grill Cloth

[Andrey Stoev]

Hi Frank,
The speaker cloth is hold in place by the friction between the speaker and
the top cover, no need to puncture it, just follow the Elecraft's
instruction. The speaker has some sor of a ring  on the very edge of the
membrane. It seems to be made from cardbord paper and it acts as a gasket.
When you install the speaker and use all 4 screwes  to attach it flat to the
top cover you'll see that the "gasket" is the only thing that presses flat
against the cover and if the speaker cloth is installed between it and the
cover it will be hold tight in place. Dont worry, is not going to fall out
of place and makes the instalation much faster and cleaner. Of course
instead of triming the cloth you can puncture it but again you'll see that
the cloth is held by the presure created from this ring and not from the 4
metal corners of the speaker, which are not even touching the top cover.
