@garebear  - Where are you located? There is a really good tech near me that works on old classic receivers from the '70s/early '80s. Don't know if he accepts units shipped to him, or not...

@garebear  - OK, I see you are in NY State. Not particularly close to me here in Cincinnati, but not a world away either.

So, the guy I mentioned is Matt @ Matt's Vintage Audio Repair in Milford (Cincinnati), Ohio. He's been doing repair and refurbishment of vintage electronics, especially '70's receivers, for a long time. He's the guy that all of the vintage resale shops in the area take their equipment to for affordable repairs. He also does some top notch refurbishments on the now very expensive super receivers from Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz, etc. I read through the reviews on his facebook page and it looks like he does allow shipping to him for repair, not just drop-off.

Anyway, give Matt a call and see if he can help, or make a recommendation to you. Worse case, I live 2 miles from his shop. You could send it to me and I could drop it off to him.

Whatever you choose, I wish you good luck. It would be cool to have my first ever receiver today.
