Can you swap a light gun monitor?

I was thinking of potentially buying an area 51/Maximum force arcade cabinet It plays blind and I'm pretty sure that the neck tube is broke. I have a spare 25 inch CRT monitor and chassis that works, but I'm unsure if you can do that as I know some light gun cabinets use special flybacks. Is this doable or will it cause problems?

The spare I have is a wells garden 25k7131

Ok great I just wanted to make sure. I had heard that the screen flashing white quickly for a single frame can require a special flyback, but if yours is working I guess that likely isn't true at least not for all games. Thanks

My Police Trainer also has a 25" K7000, and I have an Area 51/Max Force board also in that machine on a switcher and everything works great.
