Yeah, it's going to be fun but MAN the PCB area in the bottom of the cabinet is FILTHY! I don't even know where to begin.... ;)

Cleaning it is the easy part.  Read through that thread you linked above and you can see how I did it.  As far as diagnosing your problems, the first place I would start would be the verify that your voltages are correct.

Guess it's time to go get a decent voltmeter. Do you know what points to measure on a gorf cab?

I fiddled with the Gorf cab a little this morning. When I plug it in and hit the power switch on the top the monitor flashes white, then goes back to 'dead' looking. i hear a low hum and none of the lights on the cab work anywhere. Starting Sunday night I'm going to begin a tear down, anyone have any Gorf PCB sets they're willing to part with? I don't know that I need them yet but I bet I'll need to replace some of the internals before it's over with. I think it's time I close this thread and start a new one under 'restorations.'

Nice find, glad you are going to restore it.  It looks very clean.

Can you answer a question I have.  I am not familiar with this cabinet, but it looks to be pretty deep.  Yet I notice it has plastic piece in the back that buldges out.  I assume this is for the monitor, but it seems weird.  That has to be a 19" monitor in there, why does it need the buldge?

I have seen other cabinets that look much smaller in depth and they have no problem with the monitors.
