Welcome to the Phourm!!!
Unfortunately you can't buy the original replacement cloth for your 20A. The overseas supplier has quit making it. It's a shame as many of us could use some. I've got several 20's that could use some.
It sounds like you are interested in working on the cabinet too. There are new replacement parts available. What you may want to do is snap a few more pictures and post them in the cabinet repair section of the Phourm. That will give us a good idea as to what you may need.
You didn't mention is the set working?? There are a number of good folks that can help you get the old gal going again if need be. Has it been serviced in the last few years??
