Does anyone have a spare speaker grille for a 1956 Astor SJ television for sale? I'm in need of one for my set. Alternatively, is there anyone who offers re-production grilles? |

Perhaps Vicadillac is referring to grille cloth? |

Be a while yet before we get reproduction parts for Australian televisions, apart from labels which are fairly easy to make. |

I've been thinking of constructing a temporary replacement, just so there isn't a gaping big hole in the front of the set. It won't be anywhere near the original though, as I don't have the equipment or experience for that. |

Balsa may be the go, though probably too soft for the longer term. Paint with full gloss enamel for a smooth finish. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away... |
