Technics SL1100A Repair/Restoration


Hi I have a Technics SL1100A turntable that I bought new back in the early '70's.  It doesn't hold a steady speed any longer and I would like to have it restored and perhaps modified for improved performance.  I live in Central Illinois and would like to find a place within driving distance (3-4 hours) but I'm willing to ship if necessary to obtain a quality rebuild.  Thanks for any recommendations.

I can do KAB upgrades (KABusa.com) on 1100A and repair speed. 
Please PM. Other than that, Chicago might have more than many specialists.
Thanks czarivey,  Sorry, couldn't figure out how to PM on this forum.  I'm sure there are repair shops in Chicago but would prefer to send it to someone who specializes in turntables and specifically with Technics turntables, especially when considering upgrades.  I am familiar with your website but didn't know if you handled anything other than the 1200's.  I will review of he process for sending equipment on your website but let me know if there is anything else I should know before shipping.  I have the original box and packing material but will also double box to be safe.  Thanks for your response!

The number one reason for this problem on the SL1100 is dirty speed controls. A shot of Deoxit (from the inside) and working the controls back and forth may be all it needs. Its been many years since I had my SL1100 but it may also have internal coarse speed adjustments as well- they too should be cleaned.
