Does anyone have a photo a of a Victor 7-11 with the original grille-cloth in the radio speaker ?

Was it an unpatterned cloth, as used in the Orthophonics, or the herringbone cloth as used in the Radiola 100-A loudspeaker ?

Sorry Frank, I just now saw your reply :oops: ! Yes, I believe the cloth to be original to the machine.

The later machines used the "small diamond" cloth shared with the 1931 R-7 Radiolette and with the 8-35, 8-9 and the 10 35. Richmond Designs #3 is close: [attachment=2]1-Fabric005.16981116_large.jpg
The midget style "small herringbone" cloth is also appropriate
