Hi Mike

Great buy, even if that cabinet was "antiqued" years ago. But that can be corrected with stripping and relacquering.

The grille cloth you will want to use is the 70/90 pattern available from John Okolowicz' Radio Grille Cloth Headquarters.

If you look around at swap meets and/or eBay, you will find a couple of copper Mershon caps for your 71.

You are a lucky man. Not every guy's wife/significant other would be willing to help him look for radios.
