Worth anything?


Possibly, but I've had my fill of W-G monitor problems lately, though, so I"m a bit sour on the 4600/4900's.  I guy I know that seems to be quite a sharp monitor tech has told me that he normally doesn't even bother trying to fix 4600/4900 chassis anymore, he just swaps them out with a GO7 chassis because they tend to be quite a bit easier to diagnose and fix, not to mention very easy to find and cheap.  He claims that a GO7 chassis works just fine on the 4600/4900 tubes.

Probably 9 times out of 10 you can bring back a dead GO7 with a shotgun approach:  cap kit, HOT, and flyback as those are the most common failures on the GO7's.  Bob Roberts sells this GO7 kit for $28.  I bought a dead GO7 for $20 a couple weeks ago, and now I have a nice $48 GO7 ready to go in my multi-williams cab.  :)
