That's a WG6100, Amplifone monitors mount the boards to the sides of the cabinet.
For flybacks, and parts in general, best source is @security0001 's website https://www.arcadepartsandrepair.co...backs/053x0437-02-wells-gardner-6100-flyback/

I was about to come in with a canned response about how usually WG6100s don't need flybacks but yowza, looks like you need a new flyback on that. And a LV2K. Someone has clearly "worked" on this in the past and has done some hacks you should probably investigate and undo.
APAR for cap kit and flyback. Arcadeshop for LV2K.

yeah i havent worked on a 6100 in over a decade now, is there something wrong with the lv2k style from arcade parts and repair? cause my buddy will probably just grab everything from one place
It's definitely a later revision K6100 that someone did some weird shit too (doubled up caps and tent pole resistors).
Nothing wrong with the one on APAR at all. Honestly I like it a little better because it's discrete components, but it's more expensive and you assemble it yourself. (Which shouldn't be a problem, it's very simple.)
I miss the ones @Charles Kline used to sell. I liked those

They have one that comes assembled, also anyone know what these should be replaced with? Any other issues anyone sees I might be missing?It's definitely a later revision K6100 that someone did some weird shit too (doubled up caps and tent pole resistors).

APAR shows out of stock? I would look around and find one with thru hole components vs. SMT
I got mine from @Charles Kline ...

That is a 2.2 ohm 2watt?
Interestingly the parts list on the next page has a different value for it.
3.9 is the value you should use on that rev. (P329). The earlier Rev (P314) used the 2.2.
If you read the FAQ, R907 was upgraded to 3R9 3W. As was R901.
Trust the text BOM and not the figure.
I suggest the OP download and study both the REV3 manual for the K6100 and the FAQ.
Also don't buy electronics from AS. Especially anything power related with SMT devices. LOL

Yup I was just looking at the FAQIf you read the FAQ, R907 was upgraded to 3R9 3W.

I have multiple copies each of the Rev 1 and Rev 2 manuals, but none of the Rev 3. Need to grab one of those at some point. For OP: WG6100 FAQ
Search "R907" on APAR. Peter's site is very well indexed.

Yup, that's what a bad flyback looks like in one of these. It's not common, but when they go, you'll see clear melt marks in the side. (Often they'll have a nickel-sized hole melted into the side, lower down). But when you're rebuilding these, if it isn't melted, you can generally always keep the old one.
And you can use either 2.2 or 3.9 ohms for those two power resistors. You just want them both to be the same. Yes, the FAQ and later version of the Atari docs say 3.9. But I've experimented with both, and either will work.
They're on the power inputs to the cage, so they drop the incoming LV power. But if you're using an LV6100 (which runs the LV at +/-24V instead of the original factory 28V), it's already running at lower power, so running the 2.2 ohm resistors somewhat offsets that.

which is preferred, the LV6100 or LV2000? or does it matter? I'm having a deja vu moment here but if you answered before I don't remember now.
