Hi, Peter, Unfortunately I do not think I would be able to adapt the ZM1350 to the B5971 with a custom adapter board, and the reason is due to the differing resistor requirements between the two for their respective pin sets - it would require a not insignificant adjustment to the main board to

I'm absolutely still interested in the DUSTOFF board. I'm also interested in the ZM1350 board however I don't have any tubes and they seem very hard to obtain. I do have a set of B5971 tubes. Is it possible to adapt the ZM1350 board to B5971? I guess what I'm asking is if it's a one piece
