Need help with Altec Model 19 speaker grills!

If you are in the Orange County, So Cal area, there is a set of Model 19 cabinets on C/L, with grills and a woofer very reasonable.

I had to check out the ad. Yes that is reasonable!
 
FYI The ebay seller that has the fasteners... he sells them at $3.95 each, but you will need to buy 32 to get a full set since there are two parts to each fastener. Kind of a ripoff. Im rebuilding an original set of covers right now, so if you still need bare frame pics or dimensions, hit me up.

I’d like as much info as you can provide on the frames: pics, dimensions, etc.

The plastic Velcro fasteners that are being sold on eBay are available from Mojotone for 75 cents a piece, FYI.
 
The top one is 11 inches high by 30 and the bottom is 19 height by 30.

I've created 3 pairs of each for some model 19's that I built. I used wood (2 inch (1.5) trimmed down to 1 inch) and mitered the corners and put black grill cloth that I bought at parts express. I stapled (inside not back side) and glued the fabric on. Additionally the original velcro is next to impossible to find. I used the following also from Parts Express. The Grills turned out good but I tend to run my speakers without the grills off.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do what I can to help.

The velcro clips are available from Digi-Key. 3M part SJ3463-ND dual lock fastener 20.6 mm
 
These grills came with my 19s but need refurbished. I just leave them off so haven’t gotten around to fixing them and replacing the cloth yet. Hope the pics help anyone who might be searching for this info.
