    Proper term is "grille cloth' if you mean the fronts.

    Not sure which one you want, Parts express has...
    Speaker Grill Cloth Fabric Beige/Brown Yard 36" Wide

    261 810 l


    Radio Daze has a bunch...

    GrilleClothPatterns 205


    so do these guys...

    Although more oriented toward the Advent and AR restorations, you might contact Carl's Custom Loudspeakers for grill cloth. He has some really nice vintage looking nubby linen grill cloth that looks very period for 50's and 60's home loudspeakers. He prefers to send a free sample for review rather than rely on web pictures but will send samples quickly.

    Welcome to Carl's Custom Loudspeakers

    An original supplier of grill cloth for Altec was New Castle fabrics of Brooklyn,NY they spun off a subsidiary or branched off for their grill cloth fabrics which is now called Acoustone Grill Cloth Fabric.

    Try the B200 stretch ! It looks like the brown for my 19's which I think is the same for your 620/604 cabs.When you click on the swatches link after it opens go the bottom and then click "Back" the B200 swatch should come up.

    Good Luck with your search

    mahalo "old guy" awesome selection of grille cloth. Apologies for my ignorance. Obvious disciplinary action required to stamp the correct terminology into my forehead!
    Will i be sentenced to eternal Altec Heaven for my sins? I am forever impressed by what this company (Altec) created and GPA continue. Timeless speakers!
