Most, if not all, of the 3/4" decks have a "steering sync" or "advance
vertical sync" input that does, indeed, steer the servo in that deck,
but the input signal for that connector is usually a dedicated output
of a TBC. I'm guessing that it would not work as you hope.
On the other hand, if you have a deck that takes a blackburst input,
that might work.
