Replacement Hacker rear grilles - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello, I wondered whether you could help please. Richard Booth kindly pointed me in the direction of jons print shop for printed replacement grilles. Unfortunately, having completed a search on line, the web site appears to be inactive? Does anybody have any later information please on whether this route is still a viable option? Specifically, I am looking for a rear grille for an RP25A. I know he writes here under Ti Pwun.

Thank you.

I have used these in the past and they do not look out of the way, better than just a couple of holes, and at under a £1 a bargain.https://www.toolstation.com/louvre-v...yscreen/p58955.
