Idontknow Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 They came more white in color but I felt it looked a bit too loud in appearance so I stained them in brewed coffee for a day an hung them out to dry naturally in the sun. I wanted to match them as close to my Dynaco A10’s as much as possible. I’ll get the Klipsch badges next. Pic 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Vey nice! Love your TT too! If you live in Europe, can I ask where you bought the cloth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idontknow Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Sure, no problem. You’ll notice it’s white, but if you want to darken the wool just stain it in a tray off hot coffee. It didn’t shrink as far as I could tell. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304194882662?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=304194882662&targetid=1262749492022&device=t&mktype=&googleloc=9030970&poi=&campaignid=15428034462&mkgroupid=133947154481&rlsatarget=pla-1262749492022&abcId=9300763&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAjw7vuUBhBUEiwAEdu2pE9AJbC8uN5t3DsPb86zGuxfJSeNCZqhHyPJrn1x9R-qtRLTCdzvYRoC4v0QAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like the wood finish on your Forte's, it makes the grills pop. What did you do to the wood finish? It doesn't look like a factory finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a pair of II’s in the same finish on Ebay I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idontknow Posted June 13, 2022 Author Share Posted June 13, 2022 18x34 but 18x32 would be plenty because I had a bit extra. The frames I made myself from poplar wood which kept the weight down significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenZ Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Man I like the way those grills turned out. Great idea on the coffee stain too. That African Padauk looks great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNR_1 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 That is a nice job on the grills. Is each order from the vendor only adequate for one grill for the Forte? I also went to the restoration site in Texas. Wow. Some of them are too much for my conservative taste, but boy there are a few that I really like.
