I have replaced the finals in my ts-520 rigs with 6146W and neutralized 
per the manual.   Neutralized easily and held and have had
full output...  no problems at all.

The W will replace the B in most cases ... according to Glen Zook... 
depending on the manufacture date.   In the case of the
520, the manufacture date of the W series shouldnt pose a problem.  At 
least it didnt with mine.... and I have two of the rigs.
