Not as far as I know, what info would you like to know? I think it would be better to open a new thread about it.

If you put in a tube that draws too much heater current you can fry the resistors or/and take out the transformer. So while the pin out may be the same, you need to be mindful of that. My view is until you can find the specs of the transformer, confirm that it is safe and that it fits, I'd stay away. |
