Wouldn't this be a hassle since most of the Custom Vibrolux components are on PC boards? I ask because I have one and have been trying to decide what to do with it. I understand that the circuits are similar, but the sound is pretty different. I've actually done a side-by-side comparison with a BF Vibrolux (different tubes and speakers in each, though, so my comparison was flawed).
