Pimpin' ain't easy.
Does anyone know where I could get the foam used to keep tubes from vibrating when you play?
I noticed one of my tubes on my hot rod deluxe doesn't have it and it vibrates noticeably when I play a particular note.

I've been having issues with rattle on my Hot Rod Deluxe when I play a particular note, does this mean that one of the tubes have gone microphonic? I was thinking that might be the issue but I don't have any extra feedback occuring, as I have heard is common with microphonic tubes.
There is also the issue that one of the 12ax7's is missing the dampening foam that they put on the tubes, but I put a few rubber o-rings on it to dampen the vibrations, but it does not really help at louder volumes. Do I need to replace one or more of the tubes or is there anything else I can do to fix the issue?
