Any Reel to Reel repair tech in Phoenix?

[StylinLP]

Before I buy a Reel to Reel player I want to make sure the one I buy has an actual repair man or facility that can service it. That would really be bad to just buy any Reel to Reel player just to find out I have to ship it to another state for service. Thanks

These guys ( http://wwizard.com/ ) were mentioned back in 2008 in the following thread by some longtime AKers in the Phoenix area who are into RTRs. I have no experience with them myself, so I can't make a personal recommendation. Their website seems to be up to date.

Here's the original thread:

Good luck!

As Tommy B mentioned, the Audio Wizard in Scottsdale is an honest outfit and has experience in R2R's. You bring your machine in and for $45 he will give you an estimate on repair/maintenance cost. The $45 applies to the repair bill if you decide to have the work done.
