Have you tried to fix the whine yourself. It will take about 5 minutes and is worth a try.

That picture is pretty bad. I can snap a better one tonight if you wish.

Thanks! I hadn't heard that that could be done before! If you wouldn't mind snapping a picture better than the one in the link, I would appreciate it! I'll definitely try that.
That isn't a permanent solution so much as something to get rid of the awful noise for whatever life is left in the chassis, right?
There is nothing wrong with the chassis per se. The ferrite core in the flyback worked itself loose a bit. You could replace it but there is a good chance it will happen again. Plus if its not broke then don't potentially make it worse. Squeal seems to affect a lot of these Nanaos at some point.
Like I said, its worth a try. I'll try to take a better pic when I get home early in the morning or tomorrow.

Hope this helps. I used a K7000 fly but it will be the same. Jam the toothpick in between the core and the sleeve.. Turn the machine on. If the resonance subsides then you can clip the toothpick closer to the fly.

Meant to post earlier... I got a chance to try this on Thursday night. I've run the cab for at least 3-4 hours since then, with no sign of flyback whine! 
Previously, I'd get whine from it after between 5 and 30 minutes of being on, so I'm pretty sure this trick worked! I'm overjoyed to have saved that money on a chassis, and not have had to remove and install one.
Thanks again, MitsurugiW!
