Does anyone have any 4-6" ceiling mount (or flush mount) speaker grills they want to get rid of?

If you're looking for cheap grills, go to Radio Shack. They sell alot of stuff people would never even think of. That's where I got mine. I should post a picture. It's starting to look good...

Wait for RS to clearance out speaker grills. Otherwise they're VERY pricey there. Small grills have typically started at $10 a piece.
However when they clearance out stuff, they have good deals. I guess last fall (accd to the newsgroups) they had an near identical match to Midway cocktail table speaker/air hole grills (6x9). They were same size, same style and same metal. Only difference was a textured powerder coating rather than smooth on the outside. Their blowout price? 97 cents!!! (dont worry, they're gone now.. I checked all in my region and are out) :'(
Actually I'd check out thrift stores and garage sales.. You may find some good stuff there. AND if you need speakers, here's a tip.... Look for broken boomboxes where the cassete or CD doesn't work and it is all banged up and has paint splatters/etc... Inside are probably two perfectly good 8 ohm 5-10 watt speakers...perfect for your machine(s). All for the cost of a buck or so.
