Speaker Screening?

Does anyone know where I can get speakers rescreened? I'm not sure if this is the correct term--I mean the sort of fabric stuff that goes over the speaker.

A friend of my father's recently gave me a really nice pair of Polk's from the early 80's. They sound amazing (better than the 1981 Infinity 3500's I've got now), the only problem is, this guy had cats and they tore up the screening. Without replacing the screening, they're just too distgusting to have in my living room, so they're chilling in my closet right now.

If anyone knows either where I can buy screening and do it myself (anyone have any advice about doing it myself? too hard? better to have a professional do it?) or where I can take them to get it done. If anyone also has any idea what this should cost me, that'd be really helpful. I'm anxious to get these in my living room. I'm going to use them for my front speakers and the Infinity's for surround...then perhaps I'll splurge on the Star Wars DVD's and listen to some awesome surround.

thanks,
Eric

I think Radio Shack sells the screening material if you want to attempt it yourself.

Actually, Joanne's Fabrics carries it at your local store.
