WANTED: Very late Edison DD original grille material

[fran604g]

Hi folks,

I'm interested in obtaining a complete, untorn, original piece of grille cloth from one of the very late Edison DD Phonograph models with the pattern shown below and MUST BE IN AT LEAST VG-EX CONDITION, PLEASE.

THIS MATERIAL WAS APPARENTLY USED FOR THE SCHUBERT AND BEETHOVEN EDISONIC MODELS, AND ALL FOUR OF THE THE LONG PLAY MODELS.

I am NOT interested in any other pattern or color from any other models.

If anyone has a junk machine with the grill material still intact and in great condition, I'd like to buy it.

Please PM me with details and a picture.

Thank you,
Fran

I think you're going to have some trouble finding original cloth. Have you tried a fabric outlet?

Hiya Phonoboy,

No, I need some for an historical examination. It's important for me to hopefully find some original material, but thanks for the suggestion. I know I'll be lucky to find it, and I'm sure it'll take some time.

Best,
Fran

Fran,

I have a Schubert here with the original cloth, and you're welcome to examine it anytime!

Hi folks, I'm still hoping to find this item, and will continue to "bump" the topic from time to time.

No one makes reproduction cloth ??

I really need the original article for a historical study.

Hopefully this will lead to a good replication of the cloth. We need new grill clothes for these Edisons, with exacting colors and patterns of the originals.
