Reel to Reel Restoration/Repair

Guys,

I just picked up a very nice looking Teac X1000R Reel to Reel Deck. It's in great shape (person who gave it to me remembers something wrong with it but couldn't remember exactly what it was, remembers dropouts or something). In any event, as I ALWAYS wanted to get into Reel to Reel, I will have the dec professionally restored. I did a search and found a place in Montana, The Reel Pro Sound Guys. Anyone have any experience with them? Also, I don't have any tapes or take up reel. (I did download a manual).
Can anyone direct me to a site (other than Ebay).
Appreciate any assistance.

As you likely know, the X1000R is a 1/4 track 7.5ips machinine. They are now over 25 yrs old so a full re-cap would be worthwhile. You will be limited to either your own recordings or commer tapes since this deck is not set up for high speed half track.
It should not take much to get it running again. These decks were well built; depending on what issues the prev. owner had with it.

Any decent electronics shop should be able to work on it.
