Thanks

I've used a lot of stuff to try and clean
old grillcloth, the best thing I've found
is Crown Cleaner, it won't do much either but it will help remove the smell of cigarette smoke.
Don't go spraying anything on the grill with the speakers in it. You might try spraying it on a
rag and then use a small brush and a dry rag
to remove the excess.
My best recomendation is have it regrilled.

Most collectors would show early signs of disinte-
gration when exposed to the prospect of removing
patina from a vintage object.McUtsi |

| Well, there's patina, and then there's plain ol' dirt... |

I recommend not too wet or you can warp the baffle board.
I use a damp cloth with Resolve carpet cleaner.
I try yo do both sides, but of course here that will be impossible. You can spray it on and leave it for a few minutes also, then sponge off with a damp sponge or cloth.
It works well for removing smoke oder as well.

MOJOTONE has some pretty good aged cloth if you choose to regrill the amp. I have done this amybe 5 or six times and it is a tedious process to get right.
Trying to stretch the cloth correctly and maintain straight lines in the cloth can be hard.
Removing the old cloth is not fun either, and takes patience to get all the old staples out.
If your cloth is still pretty good, I would try the cleaning method with a damp cloth and cleaner first.

Thanks to all of you that responded I haven't tried anything yet. I want to leave the original grill cloth in it as it is perfect except it's dirty. I'll post something after I try it.
