Need help fixing a Linn Axis

Does anybody know of Linn Master Tech who can repair old Linn TTs? I'm the original owner of a stock Linn Axis table with Linn Basik LVX tonearm.
The problem is the belt and capstan are no longer aligned resulting in off-speed play and the belt coming off. I have taken it to my local HiFi shop and they have aligned it twice, but this problem is beyond their scope. I can see the capstan is not in proper position. I'd also like a complete inspection of the caps, motor, etc.
If there's an expert (who also has access to parts) I would greatly appreciate a referral. (US only).

Brf, I would love to avoid shipping, but the local dealer has tried to fix it twice.
Mofimadness... thanks for the referral. Spoke to Rick and he will look at it, but said it's only worth fixing if it's a simple fix. Said it may have reached it's lifespan.
I'm really attached to this TT as it's been left stock and is in mint cond.

yeah, Mapman. That's what I have to decide.
Rick at Audio Alternative said my Linn is in the $1000 to $1500 level of today's TTs. I'm thinking I would spend $300 on repairs.

Thank you to the Linn lovers for some good advice. I'm shipping my unit to Rick. Still have the original double-box.

UPDATE... Many thanks to Mofimadness for the referral to Rick at Audio Alternatives. He replaced a bent pulley spindle and added new caps. I'm amazed he had the parts.
