I seem to find all of the k4600's that have tube issues. The colors are outstanding and the picture looks great, but it has random red bursts or flashes. I had one awhile back that had a white flash, that one was unplayable.

I haven't got around to recapping this thing or even putting the rejuver on it yet.

Anyone dealt with this scenario before and have any insight? fortunately I do have an extra k4600 tube I can test the chassis on if I feel the urge at some point.
 
Dylan,

I have a tube that came in my Frontline that did the same thing except for green. Rejuver said it was Heater leakage which is not fixable.

lol for everyone saying the 4600 has the greatest picture it sure is a pain in the ass monitor. I'm going to hit it with the rejuver tonight and if that doesn't help I will swap in the tube I have with massive burn. This one has virtually zero burn.

thanks bud
 
have a k4600 that had stuck on green. zapped it quite a few times now it just flickers green once or twice on power up after then colors are fine, so I was pretty happy
 
yeah the tube is shit


heater leakage in every color

I put it on there and tried to clean and balance,rejuve, remove shorts


just made it worse, lol

good think I have an extra tube I guess
 
Not to say I told you so....


Andrew

yeah I was afraid the tube was toast based on my history with these things (4600's)

oh well, it was virtually burn free too, same as the last one that was bad.
