 I had the same problem with the Deforest / Crosley that I just posted as finished, wasn't to happy about it . It had been glued and tacks where used. I was pissed I just pulled my off a scrapped the old  hardened glue off with my scraper. The cloth wasn't that good of shape anyway so I replaced  it but this time I glued the new cloth to the speaker board like It should have been because it fits right up against the grill. I have no clue why it was done like that. Much easier to put it on speaker board than getting into cabinet and gluing , you cant see what your doing when your in the cabinet And then there are other problems like lining the grill cloth up, wrinkles, getting glue where you don't want it. I can n see where one mite have to glue to the grill but in my case using the speaker board worked out wonderful  Hay Dan whats the square opening for on the speaker grill area, was that radio modified  to use for puppet show That is a beautiful radio Dan cant wait to see it when you finish it up
