Default 64 grills (?)

- I think I have some 64 (or a bit earlier) grills. But a friend had said he wanted them weeks ago. He's out of town at the moment. When he gets back (next week), I'll see what he says. He sort of has 1st dibs, if you understand. He may have changed his mind. We were also going to make some trades.

Describing their condition I will note that I do not have the small frame surrounds that screw into the nose. I just have the center piece grills and the two mounted bars cutting down the middle. I would call them restorable. If that sounds like it may still be of interest to you, let me know.

I just signed on here today as a new member. I am a member of another of these forums, with the same user name.

Maybe this guy, not sure can’t find the old post. Ask on the Amazon group on FB.

Yes, but I don't know if he has any connection to the fibreglass grilles. I doubt it. Rob Whitton should know about those grilles as he has had several sets. They aren't repros of the originals although they do mimic the design.
