red/brown reptile tolex Does anyone know where I can buy some RED or BROWN reptile pattern tolex (snake, alligator) I've got black and white, but I am looking for some in a dark brown or red/brown....like the paper-based imitation croc skin which bookbinders sometimes use. Their varnished and embossed paper stuff looks great, but unfortunately doesn't wear very well. There was a tougher version which was at one time used on cheap suitcases, sewing machine covers, etc, but no-one seems to know if it is still made. I don't want real crock skin, but a good imitation would look cool on a diy vintage style amp. TIA....Stephen |

I thnk RUBY sells some of the snake skin covering. I left my catalog back at work on the bench so I can't look. It is a reddish brown covering.. Seems like it was ver y pricey tough. http://www.rubytubes.com/index.htm. Bruce |

Stephen: Have you contacted Zack Engineering's "Vibroworld"? They have a large assortment of coverings, but don't list what you're specifically describing on their web page. www.vibroworld.com/index.html Press the link button for their "TECH" sction. Their voice phone number is listed, so you could ask Zack if he has the stuff you're after. Doc |
