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).

I still love my axis. I wonder how much it would cost to replace. That would help me determine how much to invest in repairs, if they could be done reliably.
Based on what my axis cost in 1987 when i bought it plus inflation plus other factors relating to the turntable market since, i suspect the actual cost to equal or exceed performance could be even higher. The axis with the denon dl103r is pretty hard to fault!
No problem i know of but it is 25 years old. It sounds the best ever still after my most recent round of tweaks including cart, pre-amp, etc.
Agree, thanks!

I hope to never have to replace it but everything wears out eventually i suppose.
