Finally I bit the bullet and ordered new cloth. I got a wonderful deal from Corrien Maas on her custom TX500 cloth. I first ironed it out to get rid of the folds and then attached it to the front panel using tack pins and glue. While not bad the result isn't really to my liking as there are still some wrinkles. Still it looks great!
Still I can't understand why Philips had to run the cloth all around the CRT. Maybe they had a radio that would take the cutout.
