So i am doing my first tube swap on a GO7 from a Missile Command I have that had some really bad targ burn-in:

I found a Mitsubishi TV with a model number that is supposed to have a tube that is a direct replacement. The vertical and horizontal resistance are similar enough: 2.2 and 2.3; and 51 and 53.
The problem comes with the sockets. Here is the tube pulled from the Missile Command:
And here is the donor tube:
And finally here is the neck board on the GO7:
So as I am sure you can see the original tube and the neck board sockets don't make use of two of the pins, which the donor tube has.
So, the question is, can I cut those two pins on the donor tube?
