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?

Has anyone suggested Soundsmith? 

He doesn’t just build and repair cartridges. He does all sorts of gear as well.

Caveat: He can be a little prickly, and he’s not cheap.
