Funny you should ask. I am in the middle of trying an experiment on a Zenith 17" BW set with side speakers and the usual discolored cloth.
There was a previous VK thread which I cannot find as to how the cloth got to where it it. Smoking and grease frying are the usual suspects but the thread gave a great explination of the in-out action of a speaker and how it would eventually pull in all the dirt on it's inward pull. Makes sense. Now what to do. I have had luck with Tilex Mildew Remover on some antique car upholstery and decided to give it a whirl. What I did was spray the left side grille with the Tilex and let it dry. I did this with the cloth in place on the set. If I don't like it, I can unscrew them and either tint the cloth or change it completely. What I got was mostly clean but looking for another spray. It is distinctly lighter than the other original side. Pix attached. I am not sure if the bleach took me too far, but it can be darkened back with some coffee or same. This is just an experiment on my part on a low value set but I had to try. Let us know if this is folly or something to look at, Dave A
