KV5100 & KV5000 Picture Tube Swapping

Okay so, I scored a KV5100 on eBay for $20 plus shipping and it functions! The convergence is appalling though. and Blue BKG refuses to adjust at all. I already have a couple KV5100 sets so I mostly purchased this one for parts.

My biggest hope is the tube was low hours, which it appears to be. It's very bright despite the convergence being completely crappy. I can see a red green and blue outline on everything, but it's still sharp and very crisp.

I want to swap it's tube in to my KV5000, which has a weak tube. How hard is this process? Are they the same tube?

My KV5000 has a serious case of the pinks. It turns in from cold and it is disgustingly pink, which never totally goes away, and it's dull, even with the brightness and picture turned up. So I believe the tube to be very weak.
