Re: Amberola 75 grill fabric
The seller of my Amberola 75 gave me a piece of cloth but I decided I liked it with no cloth. His cloth was new by the way. I might use it elsewhere. Oh my 75 I believe is oak. Here is a photo. Not best photo but a photo. ha ha

Re: Amberola 75 grill fabric
I usually leave them without cloth too. However if you need to have a cloth, of course not original but for best listening dark burgundy or green pantyhose, butt section.
Cut a piece of paperboard so it covers all but the very edge of the grill frame. Use some spray adhesive over the edges of the frame, remove the paperboard and gently stretch the fabric over the grill. Sound comes through a lot better than any regular fabric.
If it's just attached along the edges, it's easily removable should you change your mind too.

Looks like maybe I'll just leave well enough alone.

Re: Amberola 75 grill fabric
I would think that the Original Amberola 75 Material was the Off White/Light Brown Goldish Colored Material for the Grill fabric.
APSCO on the web carries the material and there are vendors on ebay that sell and carry it as well. It's not 100% exact, but close.
Other fabric colors like Green and Red are available, but are not Original.

I buy material that lines a nice man's jacket in an appropriate color. There is usually a good selection in fabric stores.
