Reel-to-Reel deck service shop recommendations
I have Akai 747 dbx reel to reel deck that I would like to get serviced and possibly repaired as there are few glitches here and there. I would appreciate any leads or recommendations on a California based service shop that would be able to do the job. Many thanks!
