I received two Super Neo 29 Candy cabs today, and I'm excited to get them up and running. The seller shipped them with the original Hitachi A68LFP227X tubes, but said that the Toshiba chassis were dead and he was including a pair of Nanao MS9 chassis instead.
But... The connectors are different. The Hitachi tube uses very small pins. I've seen someone selling adaptor wiring, which certainly suggests that they're directly compatible, but I can't find anything from anyone who's actually done it.
Aside from that problem, the cabs are in astonishingly good shape, and one came with a bagged English manual. The only scans I've seen online are in Japanese. Does the English scan exist, or should I get to scanning?
