I am trying to get a Vax-11/750 machine up and

Unsurprising.
I see that people have successfully used 1/2 inch
(ID) Tygon tubing to replace the
goo. Is there any specific type of Tygon tubing (eg. R3603, R2000, etc.) that is used?
I don't know the particular variety I used in mine - I just went to
the Lowe's down the street and bought a foot of 1/2" ID tubing -
whatever they had on the shelf. I was unaware of a large amount of
varieties of tubing, so I just used what they had in stock, and it
worked perfectly.
