like the super high quality el84 holders.. or the shock mount holders for el34 or rectifier tube types. the sockets themselves look like maybe beldon. but the holders ive never seen before and are really high quality. maybe they bought a million in 1988 and have had the same stock past 30 years? otherwise they sell them somewhere
thanks!
anyone know where to get matchless tube socket holders?

Got a picture of them? I'm not familiar with what they come with stock.

Re: anyone know where to get matchless tube socket holders?
Your talking about two different tubes here!
The good clip type holder for octal tubes will not work on EL84s!
antique electronics has the good steel ( not thin aluminum) Belden type holders for octal tubes, and the tall spring type hold downs for the 84s, but you need the right tube sockets to use those with the built in lug near each chassis hold down screw or you need to make such up from wire a crimp lug.

yup those are the 84's... ive never seen those for sale.. and the ones they use for el34's and rectifiers are even cooler. they are shock mounted so isolated from chassis, then a metal clamp with leather or something like that inside the clamp touching the tube base. ive got an octal matchless and its shock mounted as well but no clamps, just plugs in and is isolated from chassis vibrations.
