It appears that most colour tubes share the same pinout. The differences
are in the deflection angle and characteristics of the screen voltage and
biasing. That is why you can often drop a standard TV tube into a video
game and have success. Yokes vary a lot, so that can be a negative factor,
but if the resistance is fairly close on a yoke I try out the TV tube
(already converged!) and it's yoke in a Electrohome/WG chassis. This won't
work for XY as the yoke WILL BE WRONG (the tube might work with a change of
end plug for the tube). But does for Raster games in many cases. Cool...
