If you run a drill bit into the base of a 4x1k or 4x1.5k to enlarge the hole slightly, you'll also wind up grinding out that dimpled keyway that aligns the tube with the notched socket shaft. Of course, for a tube that's otherwise unusable, that's mostly-inconsequential.

If an amp uses FU728 by design and has an actual 728 socket stem, a 4cx1000 will not just fit in.
