I haven't tried either method so i'd want to check with a textile artist/crafter as to the feasibility, pitfalls and any tips on methods and materials for best results.

Still haven't found the tolex or vinyl material but look at the new George Benson HRD they have the same material in gray with black streaks.

That stuff is pure retro, a real 50s-60s vibe.

I bet there's an end-roll sitting in the back of some dusty warehouse.

I replaced the bad 6AQ5 tube and now the vibrato works very nice.

Replaced the original speaker (saved it though) and updated to 3-prong power cord.

Used the old AC zip cord for a home made vibrato pedal.

Great little amp and I love that red vinyl.
