I don't have any good ones for those tubes. Here's 6BE6 and 6CS6 models that use an op-amp symbol. To use 3f4 in LTSpice you may have to change ^ to **.
Code:

.SUBCKT X6CS6close G 3 S K A
*model written to use op-amp symbol +in=g1,-in=g3, +supply=g2g4, -supply=kg5, out=plate
*work in progress, not final
* Calculate contribution to cathode current
*
*the number at the right end determines sharpness of knee
Bat at 0 V=0.636*ATAN(V(A,K)/8)
*the URAMP(V(S,K)/# mostly determines peak plate current, grid line spacing nearly constant
*the number at the right end determines slope of grid lines (plate resistance)
Bgs gs 0 V=URAMP(V(S,K)*1.6164+V(G,K)*24.75+V(A,K)/9000)
Bgss gss 0 V=URAMP(V(S,K)*0.0005+V(3,K)*0.0075+V(A,K)/9000)
*the exponent sets the linearity of grid line spacing, and big impact on peak plate currrent

Bgs3 gs3 0 V=V(gss)^1.5
Bcath cc 0 V=V(gs2)*V(at)

*

Hi again. I found that this guy has made his own tube models using a point to point curve digitalizing, and has a great job and explained it. But I could't find why in some instances he used a "dummy resistor" in the text and how to estimate or calculate it and for what did he use it. Can somebody explain me this?
Best regards.

You can send him a private message to see if he would answer your question. But looking at the model, I think the dummy resistors are used for either source or load impedance, most likely for SPICE calculation convergence purpose.
Did anyone get anything in the tubemodel_3.01_win.zip to work in LTSpice? I tried the 6ej7 pentode connection but it did not work.
Some don't work but most do, is my experience. I don't use LTSpice but SIMetrix, here is the Ia vs Vs plot for the 6EJ7 using Ayumi's model, matches up well with the datasheet:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
