Can I replace a U5000 chassis with a K7000 chassis?

I have a U5000 monitor that is a bit messed up. The tube is fine so I was wondering if I could put a K7000 chassis on there? Is it a direct swap, ie. no changing yokes etc? If not, you'll see me starting a U5000 need troubleshooting help thread soon:)
 
You will need to swap the yoke in order to do this swap. Most U5000 monitors I have seen have a bonded yoke, complicating the swap slightly.
 
Thanks, but not the answer I was looking for LOL. I'm not very good with monitors. If it's more than a cap kit or some simple soldering I'm lost.
 
Luckily a local, Rob, has been kind enough and offered to take a look at it this weekend while he is over picking some stuff up. I was hoping to get some parts on hand and an idea of what needs to be done ahead of time. Wasn't sure if a new chassis that someone has for sale right now would've been easier:)
 
the only chassis boards that will work on a u5000 original tube is a k7400 and u2000.. DO NOT USE A K7000.. keep in mind you will only have a standard resolution option with the k7400 or u2000.. the u5000 did standard or medium.

Thanks and glad to see you are back! I definatly want to stay with the U5000 for the medium resolution then.
