Interesting I have 2 almost new tubes, one from a WG 7300 and one from a
Ducksan both had fires rendering the chassis useless ... (and both from
pin2k games too!). Is there any information on the web detailing pinouts
of particular tubes to ensure say a Ducksan tube and G-07 chassis have the
same pinouts, or is it a question of try it and see. I'm loathed to end up
frying a good chassis/tube on a whim.

Wouldn't the yoke need moving too, or would it be OK if they have the same
(or close?) impedance?
