Where can I get valve guards to suit 12AU/AX?
Just returned from holiday to find a cat/Valve interface has resulted in bent pins on a NoS AU7 Millard:/
Where’s good for Millard these days?

Notwithstanding they may break, anything stopping you just straightening the pins with pliers and a pin straightener?
As for actual valve guards/cage - usually come with the kit. If you want to use the jacket type you’ll prolly have to change the valve bases, and even then cats twatting-about in the way they do could still twat 'em.
Tried the vet - they have a fix.
Not one I’d seriously recommend though.
Yes will try straightening. Specially now I’ve seen cost of replacement.
Was thinking of the ring/post type guard that fixes to the chassis.
Only need 3.
Not too flush at the moment so could do with keeping cost down.
If you are stuck I think I have a pair of Philips 5963 you can have.
Stating the obvious I guess, but
18 of these http://uk.farnell.com/harwin/r30-6201614/spacer-aluminium-16mm-m3/dp/2345344
1 pack of of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10Pcs-M3-x-50MM-Cylindrical-head-Inside-Hexagon-Screw-For-3D-Printer-Accessories/391923288596?hash=item5b4072ca14:g:6rEAAOSwWF1Zav9V plus nuts
6 1" or 25mm ID flat washers
and half an hour with a pillar drill and you could make your own. You would have to drill the chassis though.

Thanks, I may take you up on that.
Did consider it but I’m fairly crap at that sort of thing.
pm me address if you want them and I can post tomorrow or early next week.
