User Error Disaster

Howdy, and thanks for any advice. A combination of fatigue and laziness resulted in me blowing the right-side channel in my beloved 1993 B&K Sonata 202+ amplifier a couple of days ago. It's just the right stage, everything else works fine, and I've checked all the fuses and they are okay. My real problem seems to be locating a company that can repair it. I live in Dallas, TX, btw. I'd prefer to repair it since it's paired with a matching 93 Sonota Pro-10 MC pre-amp but if I just can't find anyone to repair it, could I get some advice on a comparable amp to replace it? Vintage or more modern works, I guess, but that's the route I'll have to go if I cannot find a shop or company that can do the repair. Thanks for any advice, it's much appreciated.

I've got an EX442 Sonata that is long in the tooth, but I simply love it.  I expect I'll do the same as you when it starts going:  fix it.  John Hillig (Musical Concepts) modded the Hafler DH220 I've got in my office, so I expect I'd send my B&K to him.  It's in mint condition and looks good in the living room, so.........there you go.  

It pairs up too well with my MMGs to roll the dice on chasing the sound through a different amp when I'm perfectly content with the current setup.
