Grill cloth installation help, Seeburg R
Installing speaker grill cloth on my R this weekend. Any suggestions
or procedures? I assume I would just use a 3M spray trim adhesive? Or what other product? Staples? Tuck edges? The lower trim looks like it just pulls up to remove? Can I lay the Box down on its back? The box just has the lightning bolts and no glass or glass frames; I will be installing them later. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Ron |

Ron - Lay it down on its back. Make sure the mech is secure first if
it's still in the machine. First thing is get everything off the speaker panel. Speakers too. Next - sand it down. I use wall paper paste.Cheap. Doesn't set up immediately. Cleans up with water, even if some oozes through the cloth. Apply a THIN coat. Put the cloth on. You'll have all the time you want to wiggle it around, just try not to force any paste thru it if possible. Staple the sides for a nice tight fit. Let it dry over night. Take an exacto knife ( razor blade ) and cut an X where every screw, bolt, goes through the cloth. This way when you put the lightning bolts back on the bolts won't grab the cloth and possibly rip it. A damp cloth is all you need to clean up. Done. t4613 wrote: Installing speaker grill cloth on my R this weekend. Any suggestions or procedures? I assume I would just use a 3M spray trim adhesive? Or what other product? Staples? Tuck edges?

Why not just staple it around the edges without any paste or glue ?

"Ken G." wrote in message ... Why not just staple it around the edges without any paste or glue ? 1) It will look pulled. 2) It will flap with the bass notes when it stretches (and it will stretch). Restoring means putting it back the way it was, and it was glued. Ken D. |

The speaker has a metal perforated screen over the speakers; if you push too hard on the cloth you can see every hole. I used the cloth form VG, it seemed very thin with very little texture, almost looks like foil when you put it on. I have to do a C in the next few days, thinking of backing it with a very thin layer of foam or cloth to give it some depth. I used a 3m high tack 76 it worked great. Thanks for all the help. Ron I will put a pic up and post it later today. |
