Thanks Steve! Say, did you ever get around to dialing in that K731?
This X334 actually looks better in person than it does in the pics. I had hosed down the grill cloth and blotches were still drying when I took them. The Canon 20D digital I use for my magazine work is a bit harsh for tatty old radio photos. I'd be better off shooting this stuff with a warmer vintage triplet, then getting the slides digitized. But at nearly $30.00 a piece...
For normal dirt on old grill cloths, Simple Green does a nice job of lifting it off without adding more stains. I spray it on (with the chassis and speakers removed) then dry it by blowing a light stream of compressed air through. Usually, the cloth comes back brighter and much cleaner looking, but I've shredded a couple doing this too.
By all means Jon, tell your friends about AK's Antique Radio. The guys that hang out here are some of the best, bar none.
