Grill cloth

[Bill K.]

Hello fellow Sultans of Sunn. I read about the original supplier of Sunn grillcloth in a post here by Conrad Sundholm. Guess what? They're still in business. I bought 10 linear yards for 100 bucks or so, and it's the closest thing to exact I've ever found. You can e-mail them at http://www.wendellfabrics.com/mellotone and they will send you a sample folder. I'm driven to start restoring my ever growing wall of Sunns (Thanks to Rich Briere)in preparation for a public unleashing.

Hi, What number did you choose and what years
might it have been used? I am sending off for a sample packet. Thanks for the info

 I ordered SF-7005. It looks like the silver and black check on most 60's and early 70's amps.

Thanks, The samples on their website seemed limited (only 6 in the "speaker grill cloth" section) The only one that was silver was a BY4584-21 and that did not match my 69 sorado.

BTW I called Wendell and they have a 5 yard minimum at $22/yard for the 72 inch wide fabric.....they said to try Hancock Fabrics for smaller retail pieces....
