Hi guys,
I just replaced some of the preamp tubes in my TH30 and noticed the V2 tube shield won't snap into place on the post. I looked closer and noticed that the notches on the post have ground down a bit, and I assume that's why the tube shield isn't catching them and locking into place. I have a really big gig tonight, so I see my options as such:
1. Play the show without the tube shield and pray it doesn't cause any excess noise
2. Hit the local hardware or electronics store and see if they have a replacement post
I am not very savvy when it comes to dealing with amp technical issues (as you probably guessed from reading this post), so I'd love to get your advice on the matter. Thanks much.

Running without the valve shield is fairly unlikely to cause any problems. If you can't find the right part don't worry too much. (But for a big gig you should have a backup amp ready anyway, right...?)

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You might be able to take a small precision screwdriver or something to pry the tab out. They're just thin pliable aluminum.
