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.

I also purchased a vintage Teac reel to reel that needed extensive repair and updating. After a lot of research I found a guy in Alamogordo, NM that I believed really new his stuff and prices seemed right so I shipped my reel to him. Long story short, he did an excellent job in just a few short days. My reel is back and sounds excellent. I would highly recommend this guy. Here is his E mail address
joeystumpf@hotmail... He can send you his service info and is great to deal with. I found shipping expensive due to the weight of these machines but all in all, it was worth it.
