eygo chassis for spy hunter, I thought it was a g07 but now I think it's a k4900

So I picked up this spy hunter and it has one of these eygo chassis in there.

I initially thought it was a g07 tube because of the sticker inside, and figuring that all of them I had seen had g07's in them.

I ordered a cap kit for this chassis from bob as a 'g07 replacement chassis cap kit' and it matched up perfectly to his cap list, etc. Further making me think it was a g07 in there.

The thing that is making me think it's a k4900 tube now, is the green/red wires (degauss?) coming from the monitor tube and plugging to the chassis, coupled with the fact that the g07 deguassing wires have been cut and are not in use, but still reside on the frame of the monitor. also, the yoke wires have the colors of a k4900 vs the colors of a g07.

So today I recapped the eygo, rebuilt a g07 with everything new and I was hoping to drop the g07 chassis in the place of the eygo since I wasn't happy with the way the eygo looks still even after re-cap.

so.........................
I guess I can't drop my g07 chassis in there huh?
I do have a k4900 chassis I could put in there. Hell I have a whole monitor for that matter.

like some opinions

another pic or 2

one of the pics is of the yoke wires of the g07 (more neutral/brown/grey) vs. green, blue, yellow, red of what I believe to be the k4900

It looks like a G07 frame that's had a 4900 tube/yoke swapped to it along with an Eygo/Wei-ya G07 replacement chassis (Wei-ya/Huai model 820).

Since the G07 and the 4900 are both high impedance yokes and 10 pin tubes the same Eygo/Wei-ya chassis is used with both models with the warning that the yoke pinout of the Electrohome is different than all other manufacturers.

These documents will explain things:

Pay particular attention to page 4 of the above document as it explains the Electrohome yoke wiring vs other manufacturers.

thanks for that. I read through it.

Seems like my best option is to swap in a working k4900 I have huh? (tube and chassis)

I don't like how this chassis works for spy hunter. I am not a spy hunter expert, but I hear it can be finicky with chassis' like this. It's not that it is bad, but it is hard to dial in perfectly. It is pretty good right now.

I can use the tube and eygo chassis for some other game in the future I suppose.

hell I guess I could just leave it in there. It isn't horrible, it just isn't as nice as I would expect.
