You could probably make this out of some thin metal, a vice or even vice grips, tin shears a drill and a grommet. Use the one you have to make a pattern with it.

Yeah i guess you are right...maybe I'll try that, although i really don't enjoy working with metal.

Hopefully one of the guys knows where to find these...

I have a little Crate Palamino V8 that uses a EL84 with a similar tube retainer.

Not that it helps you because I don't know where you would buy one.

Does the Epi Valve Jr. use a similar one?

Don't let that smoke out!

Yeah, they sell these things at guitar center! You'd think they wouldn't be using proprietary tube holders!

I think the amp has 6L6!!
