Fender didn't dig too deep they found the correct material on the George Benson Deluxe but in gray.

I once found some Italian cloth called snowflake in white with black accents that matched. Retro grille cloth is easier to find.

Ken Watts Turretboards.com also has 3 Supro kits so I wonder if he will change that to Valco?

That's a good link. Check the Hendrix bit at the bottom ... I've been looking at vinyl wallpaper hired hand is right there's a lot I could see on an amp.
Yea I had heard that the first amp companies hired out luggage companies to build the first boxes, thus suitcase amps

I was in a hotel recently where the sofa had a tweed covering that was a dead ringer for that Supro covering. I betcha you could order something "close enough" from a furniture recovering place.
If it won't kill me by taking it into the bathtub, I don't want anything to do with it!

I can't seem to find any specs on this Supro model - anyone know where I can find some info? Would it be under the Valco name with a different model designation?
