Wanted: Orthophonic Credenza's grille cloth

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

I not only renewed the grille cloth, but also I fixed some part of the grille of this credenza by replicating it.
