Does anyone rebuild the electrical chassis?

I have a Magnavox 'American'.
It's 100% original and in great shape.
But it needs to have it's amp (electrical/tube) chassis rebuilt.
I am sure the Electrolytic caps and tubes will need to be replaced. Probably some other components also, but I will leave that up to the person with a lot more experience on this family of repairs.
I am a retired electronics tech, but don't have the eyesight or tools anymore to do the work.

Is there anyone out there that I can send the electrical chassis to and have them rebuild it?

One more thing. If it's a no on anyone out there doing the repair, is there a source for the parts? Ideally a 'rebuild kit' with the caps and tubes used. Replace those then troubleshoot the chassis for the other failures. At least if I could get what is needed I could eventually get it repaired locally.

I'm pretty sure there are several AKers local to you that'd be happy to take that on for you. (off the top of my head, i'm not sure who)
 
sorry but no kits of parts for any magnavox amps that I know of.
U have to buy parts shown on the schematic from the bay or one of the many parts sellers
that supply our thirst for parts.
If you are visually or physically unable to do the work then a competant tube savy tech in
your area is the only solution unless an AKr offers to take on the job.
Use "bartertown" on AK for ''need a tech'' for tube work. U must pay a fee to use bartertown.
