Need someone to repair and service my Marantz 2285B in the San Francisco Bay Area

My vintage Marantz 2285B receiver needs some help, the relays do not kick in reliably and has some dirty contacts on the control knobs.
I am looking for someone in the Bay Area to do the work. Anyone know of a reputable outfit with competitive pricing.
Thanks in advance.

I don't live there anymore but I recall using "The Soundwell" (on University Ave) in Berkeley. They were always reliable, and reasonable.

stuogawa,

MFA is "...infamous stereo gear." I don’t think so. If so, why are you recommending Scott Frankland? Look up "infamous" in the dictionary. Can you clarify?

I’ll accept your explanation, but things are generally one thing or the other. "Famous" means well-known, while "infamous" means well-known, for "having an exceedingly bad reputation." I’m not trying to be overly didactic, but saying MFA equipment is bad is simply not true. I believe that you like MFA, but didn’t want new members to get an inaccurate opinion of MFA’s products. That’s all!
