Who services older equipment?


I have some 70s era Marantz components I would like to have serviced. I purchased new the following: Model 140 power amp, 3200 preamp, and 112 tuner. The tuner looks great but needs adjustments. The preamp has one channel not working.
The amp works great and is used in my bedroom system. They all look very nice and have nostalgic value, so I would be willing to spend a reasonable amount to fix. Any help in servicing this gear would be most appreciative. Alas, these are all ss, not tubes!

You didn't mention your location Jim; but a good place to
start might be your local McIntosh dealer. They often work
on older Mac equipment from the late 60s on - and if they
can't repair your gear, they will often know who can.
I just recently had my MR-73 Mac tuner (a late 1970s
unit) completely refurbished; and my local Mac service dept.
was able to get a replacement part that is no longer made
or carried by McIntosh quite easily. The tuner now works and
looks like new - and the reception is wonderful.
first of all where are you located and how much you're willing to spend?
most of such shops will charge you upto $150 of labor + parts.

i can be in help fixing for you these units for $100 each of labor + parts, but i'm not sure if you will spend such money for the old unit + round trip actual shipping(i do the fixing as a home technician and as hobby as well)

i checked ebay on your items and i believe that it's not worth to spend money and/or send it for the repair rather than hunt a little-bit on these units on e-net since they're in the range of $150 in average.
