6v62 grill cloth (and continuation of restoration story)
7/5/2007 12:56:41 AMIan
Hi , i replaced all of the caps, and found a new transformer(120-6). i had an old battery charger that was 6 volts at 3 amps, and that was just what I needed., i also got rid of the old makeshift type 41 half wave rectifier, and added a brand new silicon diode full was rectifier. Finally radioshack had something usefull! 2 days ago i had ten days to get this radio completly restored, i thought this was impossible. i sat down for 3 hours and installed all 19 caps, rectifier, and transformer, then started refinishing the cabinet, all of today i was replaceing wood supports in the radio. i purchased this radio from a man in ohio , in a region which has common floods. most off the base is rotted from water damaged so i had to replace most of the base wood. the only thing i still need to due is replace the speaker cloth,i ordered a piece of pattern 67 from grillecloth.com, is this the right pattern for this radio? it seems close , but something tells me it not it. Do any of you know what the right cloth is, or if that pattern is the right cloth? thanks

Check out www.radiodaze.com. They show various grille cloths and reference the radios that used them. It is worth a look.
