tysontom Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 >I'm trying to find some original style grill cloth for my AR speakers. Any recommendations would be appreciated.<The original AR-3a grill cloth was a beige-linen material, and this was used on the AR-LST, AR-LST/2, AR-3a, AR-5, AR-2ax, AR-2x, AR-4x, AR-8, AR-6 and AR-7 in the 1967 - 1973 era. After this, and during the Advanced Development Division (AR-10Pi, AR-11, etc.) years, the grill materials for those speakers was sourced somewhere else, and it was a white-shade of linen, and thicker and less acoustically transparent. The AR-MST/1 used this newer fabric. The newer fabric is probably still available from AB Tech Services.I know of no source for the original beige material. Unfortunately, it was the best material ever, but I think it is no longer manufactured by anyone. Anyone have know where it can be found?The AR-3 used an entirely different grill material. It was a ivory-colored, nylon-type material common for the era, and it was acoustically very transparent. This material would turn yellow in time, and badly showed dust and dirt in the frame openings.--Tom Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogmeninreno Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 I have lots of both linens. AR used 3 shades that I am aware of. White, off white and off-off white. If you want samples, I will send free to you. I bought them from a factory that had a warehouse full of AR grills and fabric at auction about 2 months ago. They sub contracted to Teledyne/AR making the grills. Dale in Reno..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bret Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 It's been a while since we talked about this, but you were going to send me some grill cloth and I didn't receive it.I'd REALLY like to have some.How much of the old cloth do you have? The whiter the better, assuming this is still the slightly off-white white of the 70-ish cloth.Bret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dogmeninreno Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Hi Bret, If you email your mailing address, I will send you the samples of the linen fabric that I have. 3 shades, you choose. Looks really close to the original and is very acoustically transparent. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
