HELP - Need Tube Amp Technician in North Dallas

I have two tube amps that need need some attention.

I haven't had any luck finding a local tech (Lafayette, LA), but I will be traveling to North Dallas this weekend to visit my son and thought I might have better luck there.

One amp simply needs 8 capacitors replaced.  The second will require more skill.  The auto-bias circuit stopped working.  I was told by the former distributor that this circuit is a single resistor that controls a group of resistors.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Sir

Check out County Line Records in Keller, TX. The owner Rodney hired the Tech from Metzger Vintage Audio (that sadly closed).  
 

Or you may want to talk to Mike Warren at FT Worth Vintage Audio. At one point I know Mike was considering moving/retiring - but he is also fantastic.  
 

I can’t speak to anyone’s backlog but I’ve dealt with both gentlemen and they were both honest and great. 
 

Good luck!

Somewhere I heard it mentioned that you should call the closest guitar or music shop and ask them who they use to service their guitar amps.

I tried the local guitar shops.  The first one had no idea.  The second had a guy from New Orleans that came by on an erratic basis.  I can try New Orleans the next time I go.

Thanks
