Am looking for a tech to work on my really old equipment AND

Hello and good-bye...
daveretired is no more.
Tammy of Audiogon has got me back my old user name -- thank-you Tammy!
My user name is once again:  dmcneilly
Thanks to all who have responded to my tech thread!
If you still have a good tech you can recommend, I think you can still send it on to me and would be glad to hear from you.
Best All!

ARC would be glad to clean or repair Your gear. They even sent me a “how-to” change the crossover frequency on my ec-2 crossover.

Stay safe.

Thank-you to Tammy for getting back to me about reopening my old account!
Thanks for the replies too - most helpful!
I guess I was wrong about ARC doing repairs - good news. Plus now know of two ARC certified repair shops thanks to a responses.
Shipping should be OK.  Have the original box the D-115 came in.  (All those years of carting it around from one attic to another...)
Still open to tech recommendations within a couple of hours of southern Delaware - would just rather drop it off and pick it up.  Given Covid 19 have time to spare until getting this work done, so no rush. 
Stay healthy and enjoy the music - a great way to shelter in place.

If you do ship it, wrap it up & package it like they are going to throw if off a building, because that's how they treat them.  The next time I ship a piece of equipment it will be in a wooden crate.

I recently had some work done by Ben at High End Audio Repair in Brooklyn, NY. He is an ARC authorized repair tech, did great work at what I thought was very reasonable all things considered. You can look him up and give him a call, you can mention that he recently did work on a 5se pre for me.

I'm in central Delaware.  I helped a friend find a tech to help him with a solid state Carver amp, vintage mid 1980's.  He repaired it and it works fine.  My buddy then took a circa 1950's, George Jetson stereo console to him to repair the turn table and a couple of odther things and he did exactly what was asked.  https://www.electronicrepairsvcs.com/It's an interesting operation and I first had reservations but he seems to be able to do the job! PM me and I can elaborate regarding my overall take on this establishment. 

Contact Pat Hickman at Classic Tube Audio, he can fix you up.

Agree with cleeds.  Call ARC and ask for Greg, who took over after Kal retired.  The only caveat is that with this COVID business going on, ARC may not have quick turn-around.

You may also consider asking ARC to refer you to a local (or at least closer) authorized ARC repair station.  There used to be an ARC authorized tech located in Jenkintown, PA, but he retired a year or so ago.  The tech used to make house calls, which was great because my ARC gear weighs a ton.

Last suggestion is to call Overture, which is an authorized ARC dealer and is located in Delaware.  One of the folks there may be able to refer you to a reliable tech.

On balance, I like the idea of having your gear scrubbed by ARC, … if they will service it.  Your gear is long in the tooth and ARC can bring it up to original factory spec.

Stay safe and healthy,

Have used ARC for repairs before, but hear they are not doing the old tube stuff anymore

I think ARC still services your gear.
