Dynaco FM-3 Question

Ok so I didn't like the 12ax7 tubes that were in my dynaco sca-35 and the ones in the sca-35 were two different types one short and one long plate so I decided to take the telefunkens out of the FM-3. Will changing the tubes in the FM-3 to Sovtek 12ax7lps affect the calibration of the tuner.

I did exactly the same as you - took the Teles from my FM-3 and put them in my SCA-35 where they make the phono section (only place they are used) sound wonderful. I don't recall what I put in the FM-3, perhaps 5751s, and it tunes just the same as it did before. So I think the answer is no... it won't affect the calibration/alignment.

OK thanks for you help.
