Here's one...

Any one know where you can order some decent grill cloth, tolex, handles, etc without going to the USA??

Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, things are kinda sparse up here. It's hard to compete by stocking for Canadians when most will order cross-border to save every last penny. Unfortunately, few stores can survive in such an environment.

There are a few, however. These have found their niche and seem to be doing quite well! They do it NOT by specializing in Canadian orders but rather by selling to the whole world!

http://www.thetubestore.com has stock on one kind of grill cloth that doesn't look too shabby!. I use it for all my projects. They're located in Hamilton, Ontario and sell worldwide. Great bunch of folks!

I've also used grille cloth from the tubestore. Not bad stuff at all.

 

Thanks guys, I have dealt many times with the tubestore for tubes - but never realised they have other stuff!

I ordered a yard this morning. Thanks again!

That's great news Brent...I've ordered speakers from you, but have been putting of a cab and head project.

I'll have to take another look at reviving my plan.
