Just type in the original tube number write down the numbers it gives you and then compare the numbers from the newer tube. As long as they are the same the tube is OK to use. The yoke on the other hand you have to check the impedance an both sides the vertical and horizontal and make sure they are close to the same.

That is an 8 pin neck so it wont work with a GO7. Probably a direct swap for a K7000 though. You need to measure yoke readings. A GO7 has a fat neck and 10 pins. You will most likely have to swap your original GO7 yoke on what ever tube you find and from what I have read, that rarely works out. I have been through a couple hundred 19 inch TV's in the past 2 years and not a one was a direct swap for a GO7.

Counting pins isn't the best way to determine the neck type and in fact you're incorrect. This tube has 9 pins and is the same as a 10-pin (RCA/Thomson don't put one pin which wouldn't be used anyway), compatible with CR23 sockets which is what the G07 uses.

thank you. I wasn't sure if I was wrong, but upon my visual inspection that looked like a 10 pin to me. lol
