Tape deck repair in the Chicago area


Greetings tape-o-philes!   

I have an old friend who lives in Chicago and has revealed to me that he owns an Otari MX5050! He thought it was worthless junk, but I sent him the sold page from Hifishark and now he knows different. He still has tapes, and he'd like to get it repaired but he really doesn't want to ship it.

Can anyone recommend a reliable repair shop in and around Chicago? I'm a vinyl person myself but I told him I knew people who knew people. Thanks in advance!

Call Ron.  708-244-9299. He’s really good.  That’s his cell. You can text him.

Many in the tape community uses Soren Wittrup, he used to be in the Chicago area but has relocated a little further out, he should still be within driving distance. I've used Soren myself for my Studer and would use him again the next time I needed work done. He is extremely knowledgeable and very efficient, he works a little differently than other techs I've dealt with.

Same subject. I have a Nakamichi Dragon that wont play tapes now. Someone to repair these?
Can't think of anybody that knows and services the Dragon better than Willy Herman. Will have to ship to CA though.
