if he can change caps then he can swap wires and change transistors.

that sounds like a magnetic field problem - not electronic

4600's are shit - dont touch them,
they arent even monitors, they are converted television chassis - look at the spaces for a tuner and composite stuff.
if you have to replace it and want something original then find an electrohome G07,
something newer would be a wells-gardner K7000.
both a hell of a lot cheaper than that piss-taking quote you provided.
$329 ??? they must be on drugs - a 4600 isnt worth $29 ecept maybe for the tube.
you should get a used G07 or K7000 for well under $100 in the trade.
in the u.k. i can get a 19" K7000 or hantarex polo for about £35 ($50-60)
hell, $329 is more than the price of a brand new monitor from a dealer like wico complete with warranty etc.
and i do mean *new* not something from the back of a warehouse that spent 27 years drying it's capacitors out - that's right, you would still need to change the caps if it's old even if it was never used.
