[Elecraft] I still have some speaker grill cloth

[DolfinDon@aol.com]

Hi All

I still have some grill cloth squares for your K1 or K2

If you would like a square or two of the grill cloth, email me. I will give 
you my address where you can send a SASE so I can send it to you.

Installation instructions:

Remove the speaker and all hardware on the top cover. Mask off with masking 
tape an area around the speaker mounting on the top cover. Place an old rag 
on a flat place on the ground outdoors and place the top cover painted side 
down on the rag so you don't get any glue on the top side of the cover. Use 
3M Type 77 spray contact cement to lightly coat just the area where the 
speaker mounts. Wait about 1 minute to allow the cement to get tacky and 
carefully place the cloth over the speaker grill. Press it down to make sure 
it sticks to the top cover with no wrinkles. Run a hot soldering iron through 
the cloth at the speaker mounting holes, wipe and re-tin the iron tip to 
remove any crud. Remount the speaker using all of the normal hardware. Do not 
over tighten the speaker nuts.

This modification looks good and will protect the speaker from foreign 
objects slipping under the grill. The cloth does not touch the speaker cone 
with it glued to the top cover and I do not hear any less volume from the 
radio. 

3M 77 contact cement is available a hobby or hardware stores. Other types may 
work. I have only tested 77 spray cement and know it works.
