ARC repair needed

I recently purchased an ARC D240 MKII (power amp). The right channel is going out. ARC won’t even look at it. They said it is no longer serviceable, that they can’t get parts for it. Does anyone know a repair facility that might work in it? I paid a great deal for it, and it would be perfect with my system.  I live in SoCal, but am happy to ship anywhere.

The right channel starts to fade after about 10-15 minutes.  It grows faint by about 30 minutes.

I tried swapping both input leads and outputs to speakers.  I tried reverse on the preamp and inverting in the amp.  It’s always the same output.  I suspect it’s either a solder or a capacitor.

Again, thank-you all for your great responses.  I got it fixed!  I found a local shop here in the Palm Springs area.  The problem was two bad capacitors and a loose ground.  It cost $55.  I highly recommend “Mr. Charley’s Fix It Electronic Repair” if you’re in the area.
