Need to recap my Classe Audio DR-8 Amps - need suggestions

I recently purchased two Classe Audio DR-8 amps. The amps were barely used and are in mint condition, but I think I need to have them recapped due to being over 20 years old. I am guessing Classe Audio would be the best place to have the amps recapped, but I am not sure. Any suggestions where to have the amps recapped and what I should expect to pay?

Also should I recap my DR-5 pre amp?

Thanks.

…...I had to laugh and my apology to the OP but it happens so often here that I had to say something. Jackd adds his or hers opinion that has nothing to add or do with the OP's question on capping his amps.

 I owned Classe' gear for years and gs556 adds some good information and living in Syracuse, NY ; United Radio does really nice work. I would also contact Classe' and see what they would suggest as the amps are obviously out of warranty so the one who seems to have the best approach for you would be a good starting point. Good luck and those are nice amps designed by David Reich.

Jack I will call you out anytime …..especially when you answer an OP's question the way you did which didn't address the original issue or concern. I just see may people do that here for reasons that I still shake my head at. Classe' is not the company they were which is shame and as I noted I would start there …. My facts are straight by the way, as I noted that United Radio Service in Syracuse , NY will service the Classe' gear and will do a great job. Why, I had them work on my Classe' DR -9 years ago. The DR-8's are great amps and I hope Mr Kdross can get them updated and working.

Kdross I live in Syracuse so if you need anything on United Radio drop me an email and I will help with any questions.
