Wow - major bummer. :'(

Yes, you can use it! I am running all the Sega XY games out of my Space
Duel cabinet
(WG 6100 XY). The draw rate is a little slower so you may see a stray
vector or two
occasionally but it's definately very playable.

The other alternative is to locate a new tube - talk to Mark Jenison - he's
looking into it
right now.

for details on the WG->GO-8 use.
