But it can be done, if you are willing to hack up your chassis. Otherwise you can wait around and pay the going price for a good 12UP4. They come up on ebay once in a while.

I paid over $200 for a good, EXTREMELY RARE 16EP4 several months back, and I would have paid even much more. As the saying goes, "if you wanna play you gotta pay".
I contacted the seller and he says the CRT (12UP4) is good. ...Pheeuuuu!
I wouldn't want to go through all that.
