I am going to be using a tube from a 13" TV as a replacement for a 13" WG4900. My question is since I do not have the degauss from the original tube, will the degauss from the TV tube be electronically compatable with the 4900 chassis?

First question is - are you 100% sure the donor tube is a good match?
If it's not you can blow the yoke and chassis to hell.
Secondly - when you transplant the tube the degauss goes with it anyway.
If your old or new tube doesn't have a degauss coil already, you can move it from one to the other. And if they both have one, you can keep the degauss coils with their tubes, but you'll probably have to change the degauss connector to the chassis....
is there any places online which help determine what 13" tube is good for the different WG models? i have a 7000 that i would like to try to swap, but dont want to chase down too many incompatible tvs.
