HI Greg

I contacted the company that makes the cloth and they are very helpful and willing to sell a couple yards at a time. I'm only going to use one so I may ask back on the forum if anyone would want the second yard

Here is the mellotone grill cloth. I have about twenty yards left of the sf7005. I use it on speaker cabs.It suits my purpose. Its been a few years. I think the other pics was the fn5660 that wendell sent me. I still have the big sample card of the sf7005. But only have a small sample of the darker one, Does the darker one look like the fn5660 you have gotten? The sf7005 has a slight gray thread in it. And the other has a darker gray thread giving it a darker aged color.

The FN-5660-21 has a more yellow hue to it to make it look "aged".  It is a perfect match against the grills in my two 1970's 412s which I assume are the originals and that is why I went with it over the others.  If your goal is a vintage look go then with the 5660 but if you are replacing the tolex and trying to restore your amp to look like new then the 7005 is probably a better choice.

Update...I received my two yards of 72" wide FN5660-21 from Wendell Fabrics this week.  It came via UPS ground rolled onto a large cardboard roll.  Total cost was $19/yard plus a $10 handling charge plus $17.31 for shipping for a total of $65.31.  I should have plenty of material to recover my two speaker cabinets and enough left over for a couple of more cabinets.  I'll try to post photos for the final result when I find the time to get around to recovering them.
