I'll throw in my $.02 here...

That's the same tube that's in my I,Robot. I successfully
frankensteined a GO7 chassis on it, including the neckboard, so the
pinout should be the same. The plastic "mating" connector on the end of
the tube was different though, so you'll likely need to remove/alter
that.

I really like the tube-- nice dark color phosphor coating (compared to a
"stock" GO7 tube anyway) and relatively flat screen. Might make a nice
vector monitor! (Dunno if the shape of the neck is sufficiently
different to cause any problems with the yoke though...)
