Hi.Equipment OEMs & their authorized service centres earn revenues by fixing their products. Any 'unauthorized' service will NOT be welcome & even suffer warranty termination if done within warranty period. But, like it or not, this is legitimatem though from your view point, they are not doing you a favour. They are running a business, not some free neighbourhood consultancy centre.
In reverse situation, you would do the same thing to protect your
'intellectual property" & monetary interest.Besides, what you ask is a specific technical question involving swap of tubes not specified in the service manual. If I were the OEM itself, I would not make any comment to eliminate any legal consequences in case of loss & damage due to mishandling & improper
change of its original design.That's the real world to face. I'd not blame whoever. Just do it at your own 'risk'.
Good listening
