JBL 4313 Restoration

Thank you for posting all your hard work ... about 5 years ago. I really enjoyed it and drooled over the speakers themselves as well. I'm hoping to run in to some older JBL's in my not too distant future.

Speaking of JBL's, I believe my little L26's grill frames are going to be a similar situation in regards to putting new cloth on them. In your cuts for the corners, I'm a little dicey as to exactly what you need. I've earmarked this page and will be returning to see if I can duplicate your efforts. I've got the orange version grill cloth to use, I can hardly wait. That color didn't stay on the Altecs, but it will for the L26's!

You're welcome. Biggs, the corner cloth was cut by cutting one edge to an angle greater than 45, overlaying the uncut edge over the other and slicing at a 45 angle through both. That leaves a perfect seam with no doubling of the cloth.

I think I gotcha. What I'm going to have to do is sit down with the frame, the cloth and your words. I believe it's something similar I've been doing with the non-curved frames.
