I'd avoid shipping it if I can. Marantz tube amps are classic textbook designs and are easy to repair for any qualified tech. I'd look for a local tech you can bring it to and pick up in person
Thanks Opus III , That's what I'm trying to do is to avoid shipping , we had a great service tech. in the Birmingham, Al. area but he has retired ! Saw some of your threads about Audio Research, have gotten great service from them, wish the nine's (re-issued) were made by them . Thanks Huntingsnapcap
Latest on Model 9 service : Contacted Audio Classic's and they suggested going back to VAC , talked to VAC's service tech and he was very helpful and nice. Sarasoto, Florida is as close as any other area that I would go for service so I going to give them a try ( might take a short vacation and drive them down ) . Thanks For everybody's help
