CAV 45 S2 is a current model. CJ should have parts to support them. Have you already tried without success? Get in touch with your dealer who may be able to order one for you. If you’re not in the US, you’ll have to go through the official importer for your country. Best of luck.
It’s just stuff. I like mine. I hope you like yours. I probably like yours too.

And no harm posted a "WANTED" on ebay and various audio sites. Not infrequently, tube cages get seperated from their chassis...

FWIW, there are an historically large number of Conrad Johnson items listed on eBay right now. I didn’t notice any tube cages when I looked the other day, but it is certainly worth checking regularly if you’re not in a hurry.

Just looked at ebay. Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen this many units listed at once. Including the cheap Chinese knock offs. They have no shame.

A lot of what I saw were “fishing expeditions.” Prices were so high that the listings won’t sell except possibly to deep pocket bucketlisters.

But there were some with selling precedents.

I looked over the McIntosh listings too. Lots of absurdity. MX110 listings ranged from around $2k to around $8k.

With the shipping problems presently in play, some of the pressure from buyers located in the Orient has been released.

The large number up for sale would seem to support the idea that there is uncertainty in the tube domain (and the economy) right now.
