I'll echo this question.

I'm keen to restore my Star Wars to its original form (currently has a WG) but
am concerned about the reliability of the Ampliphone. Having an Ampliphone
tube with WG chassis won't quite cut it for a restoration, but it may be a
necessary compromise.

That being said, if someone wants to trade a working Ampliphone for a working
WG, give a holler ;-)
