i have an electrohome ecp 3101. just got it up and running, cleaned the lenses, got rid of a crap load of dust and dirt. and my friend and i forgot to bleed the glycol on the tubes. it had only been running for about 20 minutes before the glass on the blue tube cracked. only that one tube cracked though, thank the CRT God. i have the SD-187 tubes in it right now, with a back up set of the 07-MS tubes. i was curious as to whether i could mix and match the tubes, just replace the whole blue tube instead of just the glass.

just to clarify, i didnt break the tube, just the chamber glass in front of the tube. the tube itself is fine and still usable, just needs new glass for the coolant chamber. i just wanted to know if i have to change anything on the pj to accommodate the 07-MS tubes when switching from the original SD-187 tubes.
