Greater Houston Area RTR help?

[HK4304EVR]

Took a gamble on a vintage TEAC A-1200 and lost. Lol. I'm looking for a knowledgeable RTR repair source in the greater Houston area to get this thing up and running. Any members know of anybody? Thanks in advance...

Try Save On Sound. Not a whole lot of reviews on his business, but I've used him twice with good results. No one else around I know of that has a "storefront" in the area.

What's it (not) doing?

I tried Bammel TV Technology Services and lost. Brought in a lovely Denon DP1000 TT with Black Widow tone arm for basic stuff and they butchered it. Only playing out of one channel and the speed is off.

If it's belt/linkage issues, your best bet is DIY. Even I, ham-handed as I am, was able to get an old TEAC A-4010SL running.
If it's electronic in nature, I second Tom at Save On Sound. He fixed a couple of amps for me in years past and I was pleased with his work.

Thanks again, M!

I took a good look at it. Caps weren't leaking, no burned/hot items on the boards I could see. The motor just wasn't getting juice and Bammel concluded it was the transistors.

I can use the Tom reference for this and/or my Bogen receiver that needs a bit of work beyond my capabilities. Mechanical is more my thing...

Cheers,
