Vintage ALTEC grille cloth

**Guglielmo** · January 22nd, 2015, 01:16 PM

Hello,

I am going to plan an Open Baffle project with 604E and 416A as helper woofer. I am looking for the relevant vintage look (I already got the Maestro ALTEC badges black-gold!), so I need to find the right grille cloths. I prefer those in old ivory cream like in the earlier 838A Carmel... Please may you suggest me a good store with a good choice?

Thank you for help

Back in the day Altec used a company called Newcastle Fabrics..They are still in business, however they now sub out their grill cloth line to a company called Acoustone Grill Fabrics which is part of Newcastle I think.They have the same address.

Thank you very much "Altec Best" for precious links. I have already contacted them hoping to find similar vintage Altec grille cloth.

"Phil-G" please could you inform me about that HK fabrics address? Thanks!
