Here's a few places to start:

Heyboer is still offering George's Metro spec trannies
Brian H (member here on forums) makes beautiful turret boards
Valvestorm.com sells all the little widget pieces inside the amps and Robert makes ordering super easy
Sparky (member name on forums) makes excellent faceplates
Mojotone still makes the headboxes that George used

So the main things you'll have to sort out are:
Chassis (check member classifieds...some of Georges chassis are offered once in a while - they are excellent quality)
Rear panels
Tubes (NOS check with Tube Tramp)

From time to time Brian from Wallace Amps & Marstran offers various high quality parts for builders here.

Hope this helps. Sorry if I missed anyone...I know there's more suppliers who've helped many folks here on the Metro forums build great amps.

Chris M e r r en also makes excellent transformers...

You can source a lot of components (resistors, sockets, pots, etc) from places like Mouser, AES, etc. to save a few bucks.

I can't say enough good things about Brian H.'s turret boards and Terry Kilgore's (Tube Tramp's) service.
