Source for brass tube vent screen?

Crestwood23 · Oct 19, 2013

Does anyone know where I could find something similar to the brass/gold colored screen material that goes above the tubes near the back of the amp cabinet? I'd like to be able to trim or bend it to a custom size.

Most replacements I've seen use the perforated metal like that from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

I bought a sheet of perforated sheet at my local hardware store. One of the main uses of this sheeting for making enclosures for hot water or steam radiators. You can get at least 4 out of a sheet.

Here is a picture of a screen I made for a 700t.

And here is another I made for my 800c

Mcmaster-carr also sells this stuff. They call them metal sieves. You will have to buy a large sheet but the stuff comes in handy if you do a lot of dyi. I use it for bottom panels to.

I bought a sheet of black screen that has the same shaped holes as the original Fisher screens. My intention was to cut one and spray it gold.
It looks so good in black that I left it that way.
Check this post for four photos of the black screen.

Looks good! Is this aluminum or steel?

It's painted, so I'm not positive, but I imagine that it is steel.
I bought that sheet at my local Ace hardware store.
