Can you please share where in California he's located? I'm in L.A. and have a great tech near by, but he's overloaded and the wait times are many months long. George Meyer AV is also in town and I used them once. They were fast and did a fine job, but are very expensive with a labor charge of $150 per hour at the time the work was done over a year ago.
If you need a tech to service or restore a vintage amp or receiver...
If you've been looking at older or vintage gear and may be concerned about servicing or repairing it, you might be interested in this person I discovered.
As a Xmas gift to my son, he asked me to find a place that would re-build his vintage Model 173 receiver. It's a very nice sounding 1970's model that was beginning to act up. It took me over a year to find someone willing to do it at a reasonable price. I did a nation wide search and came up empty-handed most of the time. A place in Washington reluctantly quoted a price of $1500 minimum - ridiculous! I originally bought this unit for myself about 8 years ago for $15 on ebay and eventually gave it to my son.
I finally found a guy who agreed to perform a total restoraton for alot less, and my son is very pleased with the result. His name is Todd, and he has a website called timerider.net. He's in California.
His email is [email protected]
