Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted


My McIntosh MA6900 sat idle (in original boxes) for one year during home renovations.  Power Guard now kicks in upon turning power on (likely a capacitor died while idle).  My last McIntosh authorized service shop closed, next closest says 16 months queue!  Any recommendations that don’t have me shipping the very heavy unit or waiting over a year to get my center of my system back to life?  I’m in Fairfield County CT.  Any qualified technicians that are not part of McIntosh’s (shrinking) list of authorized service shops?

Firstly, so glad I reached out to this forum...great input and thank you all.  I am reaching out to several of the resources suggested.  I do have a decent amplifier that is filling in adequately while I get this addressed.  I will report back once it's all fixed.  As to the suggestion I take it apart myself, I confess I'm not confident to do more damage than good so while it very well could be "something stupid like that", in most scenarios I'd be the stupid one for trying.  Thanks again all!!!
