it's in the "lower 48" so I don't know if the shipping would make this a justifiable place to shop, but i've had great luck getting vintage tweed/tolex/grille-cloth from this place:

Thank's Bender 4 life, this look a great place. I friend of mine give a Marshall style grill cloth . salt and pepper. This will do the job as I can't find original one.

I just cut out a new grill cloth holder in high quality 1/4 inches plywood. The amp it self is working very well in class A , sound in a Vox family . I used a Eminence speaker I had on hand and put it in the cab.

Picture will be post a I will install new grill cloth

New upper back pannel, I just paint it black, I don' t have for now a piece of matching tolex. I copy the size from picture on the web.
I want to replace this temporary speaker for a ceramic with British tone.

You never know.

4 years ago I also found a Traynor voice mate reverb YVM3. And I don't check refuse like some do.
But it is one thing to found an amp and it is an another thing to fix it, This Wen have lot of trouble and nobody fix it before since 40 years
As I say before, this amp can't work ; wrong wiring on EL84

Those original knobs look like something that might be found on a vintage H.H. Scott or Fisher stereo tuner or pre-amp. You might try Ebay -- I see hardware there such as that all the time.

Best of luck

Thank's Retroverbial , I'm not a e bay buyer or seller but I have friend which is.

In the "old time " there are only few parts avalable. builders use almost the same knob, capacitor, resistor , transformers and speaker.
