Just a humble opinion.....but natural 'relicing' is cool on a vintage amp as long as it matches the tolex, right? .
IF you are having to recover and the faceplate is really grubby, why not just buy a new replacement and store the old one in case you sell the amp and the prospective buyer is vintage sensitive?

Which begs the question I'd like to know the answer to: where?

I've been looking all over for these (repro's would be fine) and so far I'm skunked.

Some direction would be appreciated.
