Recently I acquired a 4-door Credenza for $100.00. But it needs grille cloth. Is there anybody who knows where to get a similar one or reproductions? I found the photo of the reproduction. Thank you.

Re: Wanted Orthophonic Credenza's grille cloth
Here are the photos of it. Without the cloth, it looks sad. It came with the orthophonic reproducer, which was in bad condition. I replaced it with a gold-plated reproducer. It plays well.Watanabehi wrote: Mon Feb 13, 2023 6:07 pm Recently I acquired a 4-door Credenza for $100.00. But it needs grille cloth.

Re: Wanted Orthophonic Credenza's grille cloth
Luckily I found an old linen fabric piece I obtained in Japan long long time ago, which I used for orthophonic table model's grille cloth. It was enough to cover the credenza's grille. What do you think about the looks of it?Watanabehi wrote: Mon Feb 13, 2023 7:01 pmHere are the photos of it. Without the cloth, it looks sad.

I would say that it's the best replacement cloth I've seen yet.

Re: Wanted: Orthophonic Credenza's grille cloth
Thank you very much for your comment. I was lucky to be able to find one in Japan. It was a temporary store at the arcade of Ikoma train station along Kintetsu Nara line. Since I haven't been back to Japan for ages and am retired from teaching in Oregon, I should visit several fabric stores to find ideal fabric for grilles.JerryVan wrote: Thu Feb 16, 2023 6:42 pm I would say that it's the best replacement cloth I've seen yet.

I not only renewed the grille cloth, but also I fixed some part of the grille of this credenza by replicating it.Watanabehi wrote: Mon Feb 13, 2023 6:07 pm Recently I acquired a 4-door Credenza for $100.00.
