Its already lost its original coat so whatever you dress it in wont be original, why not dress it up in something else? It wont have the patina of the tolex that you removed either no matter what you put on it. You could go down the tolex route, you could go down the material (twill) route, or you could leave it as bare wood, you have lots of options either of which will look lovely.
However you dress it, it will always be a lovely old amp.
It was a very early one with the pre-Rola Celestions, all original, working tremelo with the knight rider on the front. It was my 1st hand me down gigging amp in a Welsh Indie band. Still remember it frightening the shit out of me as it used to pop and bang on start-up, just needed new valves and a service - I used to turn it on using a broom handle!!! Got it serviced and it sounded lovely and was bang/crackle free, seem to remember Contra Bass and High Treble being pushed in together giving the best tone on it and also being impossible to overdrive it without interfering with a space station!!
I swapped it with some guy called Glenn from down Plymouth way somewhere, I think it got shipped out to the States somewhere, dream would be to find it and buy it back……probably way outside what I could afford now….
