Thanks czarivey, Sorry, couldn't figure out how to PM on this forum. I'm sure there are repair shops in Chicago but would prefer to send it to someone who specializes in turntables and specifically with Technics turntables, especially when considering upgrades. I am familiar with your website but didn't know if you handled anything other than the 1200's. I will review of he process for sending equipment on your website but let me know if there is anything else I should know before shipping. I have the original box and packing material but will also double box to be safe. Thanks for your response!
