You mean the grill cloth? Replace it.

Is grill cloth easily detachable? Or are you talking about the tolex cover of the cabinet?

Why no pics?

Grill cloth, old, and not removable.

My MB can be replaced with 4 screws. I bought it used and mine has a stain in it. Someday...

NO-- removal is not an option-- this is a "time capsule" piece. Old as me --- sounds and works better too but the last time it had a bath Carter was in the white house!

I wouldn’t worry so much about the grill cloth...you’re never going to get rid of that green stuff.

Lighty rub a cleaner on with a cloth and then suck up with steam cleaner or shop vac. Then do the same with water. Repeat if necessary

Too f'n funny... Never pictured an old school Kustom amp! But now that I know what you were talking about.... "Use a gentle rose scented soap mixture - and apply with your fingers, very delicately" ...

 

[Thatbastarddon]

Remove the speaker, and...

Mix water with this...



In one of these...



Apply firmly, but gently with one of these(a soft one)...



Use one of these...



With one of these on the end of the hose...

To suck up the loosened funk.

Easy-peasey.

 

[Thatbastarddon]

If you want to be really detailed, and careful...you can replace this(from the kit above)...



With this instead...

Grill cloth, old, and not removable.

There is no such thing as "not removable".
There is only "not removable yet".

Not removable without regret? Tears? Screwing the pooch?

 

[eSGEe]

I reapeat --- not removable.......unless I want too totally refurbish with all new tuck and roll and spend a fortune on a crusty old cheap arse barn find..........

AND WE ALL KNOW MY STANCE ON PROFIT!

Just a question...

Given the age of the grill cloth, does it look like it may have deteriorated at all with age, sunlight, etc.?

It would be a shame to ruin it with too vigorous of a cleaning and vacuuming.

I’d go really gently with it.

Just a thought.
