Hi guys,
I'm having trouble locating valve guides for a John Packer JP-273 baritone. I was told to check with Allied Supply but sadly they won't deal unless I'm a dealer or tech with an account.
This is a 3 valve compensator with a bore of .573 and 9.5" bell if that helps. I was told that a Yamaha guide might fit but I know the YEP-321 guides won't fit because I have some of those.
Thanks for any help.

Did you reach out to bloke? He's a JP dealer and I'm sure either has some or can get you some from Allied.
