MacWorks Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Have some old cane grills for my Cornwall 1's that need new cane and the backing board. Also looking to swap my black Heresy II grills for cane. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Recommend you contact Crites to see if they can help, at least partially. https://critesspeakers.com/speaker-motorboards.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacWorks Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Thanks, but motorboards are something different. I am speaking of the composite that the fabric is mounted on. Looking for commercially produced, not crafting my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidmack Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 My understanding is you may find something close, but the original style cane material is no longer produced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idea; took my old frames to the local high school wood shop and had the instructor create a new set for me. They have CNC router tables. He refused payment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacWorks Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thanks, @uteman1011 still looking for the real thing. The Cornwall cane is at the top of my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the 70th Anniversary K Horn cloth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacWorks Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 The cane is somewhat stained @001. A light scrubbing did not improve. Also the board that the cane is stapled to, needs replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carefully remove the cane fabric and hand wash it in a tub with warm water and a mild detergent. I've done it to cane grills from heresies. I use Woolite detergent. I used a fabric brush as well to clean the fabric, they came out so much better after. Good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @MacWorks why dont you try this ? take Linseed oil and apply to cotton swabs , then superficially dab on a section of the fabric , do you see any improvements , I am wondering if the fabric is dried , versus stained ?

MookieStl Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I hope dtr20's suggestion works for you. I know you want to stay original, but if it ends up you cant, several here have used Mojotone cane fabric. Google them, search "cane". They have two that are close. I used the tighter weave but the looser "English" weave should word as well. They dont have that second layer that you see up close on the original but from a couple feet away, look very close . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
