[TMC] Cabinet Colors

[Chris Kepus]

Hello TMC list members!

Is there a single "correct" color for GPR cabinets? My GPR-90, GSB-1 and
GSP-1 have very similar colors but slightly different tints and wrinkle
patterns.  It does not appear that any have been repainted. I have toyed
with the thought of repainting them the same color but due to the fact that
the paint on each is in great shape and I do not know which color/tint to
use, I have not proceeded. Hi Hi. Not sure that I ever will, either, but
still would like to know if someone out there in TMC land has the answer to
my question and the formula for the paint.

Subject: [TMC] GPR-90 Matching Speaker Reproduction Grille Cloth

Hello fellow TMC enthusiasts!

I am offering a reproduction grille cloth for the relatively rare matching
speaker unit for the TMC GPR-90 Receiver.

This speaker is actually identified as TMC Model GPS-1 (General Purpose
Speaker-1). Another version of this speaker, and even rarer, was the model
GPS-2. It was identical to the GPS-1, but the speaker cabinet was actually
borrowed from the GSB-1 SSB Adaptor, so the cabinet depth is deeper when
compared to the more popular and less costly GPS-1.

At any rate, the speaker grille cloth I am offering is virtually identical
to the original and now unavailable grille cloth materal, which was
discontinued decades ago. It is extremely close to the original used by TMC
in terms of color, type of weave, and fabric density.

The grille cloth is easily replaced by removing the speaker baffle board
assembly (4 nuts) from the cabinet, separating the speaker from the baffle
board (4 nuts), and removing the stapled-in-place original grille cloth. The
replacement cloth is positioned in place and restapled to the wood baffle
board with standard 1/4-inch upolstery staples and a staple gun. The speaker
is remounted and the baffle is then replaced within the cabinet.

I had to purchase several yards of this material at significant cost, as it
was a special order fabric, and I searched for quite some time before I was
able to locate it.

The price for one replacement pre-cut grille cloth for one GPS-1 or GPS-2
speaker is $15.00 each, plus shipping via the US Postal Service.

Replace that dirty, nicotine-stained, faded, or damaged grille cloth on your
GPR-90 speaker, and immediately transform it's appearance with a minimum of
effort.
