Here's one for the vector gurus : Can I run Amplifone boards on a WG K6100 tube and yoke?
There are countless threads mentioning the opposite situation, where people attempt to run 6100 boards on their Amp tubes - which evidently doesn't work out well enough, due to convergence issues caused by differing deflection angles. But can you go the other way with it? Who has tried? What results?
If the Amplifone boards work on the 100° tubes in the 25" cockpit, running a 6100 yoke (the only 100° native yoke of course); and then also on the 90° 19" Rauland/Amp tubes (with appropriate 90° Amp yoke) - Doesn't it stand to reason that the Amp boards themselves are fully cross-compatible between either 90° or 100° tubes, regardless of size, so long as the correct degree yoke is used? In other words, what I propose would work, and even converge correctly?
Remember now, don't get it switched - I'm talking a 6100 tube, with yoke and rings, being driven by Amplifone boards (HV and deflection).
