When doing a tube swap, how close would the yoke readings need to be for you to give it a shot? I really don't want to mess with convergence.

So if you use an arcade chassis and yoke with a tv tube it is very common to not be able to get good convergence away from the center no matter how good at convergence you are. Even though you might have another CR23 tube, chances are good it has a different gun that will cause you to waste a lot of time and pull a lot of hair out trying to get it to converge.
I've got a K7000 and a TV tube that I think are close matches - 2.4 vs 3.0 and 11 vs 13. If anyone with experience can tell me ahead of time if that is close enough, it may save me some wasted effort. But I plan to give it a try in the near future.
This is kind of what I was expecting/hoping to hear and it got me thinking, with the chassis from 8liners, it is common to add a resister in line to match the yoke to the acceptable range for the chassis. I wonder if you could do the same thing with a WG or G07 chassis if you can't find a tube that is close enough.

P.S. Shanman, I can't wait until Saturday night.
