Another Silvertone finished

[pathe]

Nice machine I have the exact same one.
My opinion it's the nicest looking table model sears made

Does yours have grille cloth Pathé? Since my grille is not removable I wonder if the grille material in my Silvertone is original? It looks vintage but it also looks more like a radio type of grille cloth. (?)

All Silvertone machines of this vintage that I have seen use a very thin silk material much like gauze or cheesecloth

Since the grille does not remove, I will have to remove the motor board again, take out the wood horn, elbow, and replace the grille cloth with the correct silk. Another evening project in the kitchen haha

Tonight i will post the cloth from my machine

[howardpgh]

Did you buy that machine in Western PA?
I think I saw it at my local flea market last summer.

The cloth on my walnut Silvertone upright

Yes that looks like the grill cloth in the 5 silvertones I have

I wonder why my Silvertone grille is not removable - it looks like the front is all one piece, unless the grille has been glued in permanently for some odd reason (?)

It was cheaper to build these table models without a removable grille.
