Stephen Franco from Harrison, here. Don't forget to put me on your NW AR list.
Have you tried the local VoTech? The one in town takes repair projects to get their students a variety of experience sometimes. I got an estimate from a shop here in Harrison for an amp repair, but the cost was more than it was worth, so I never found out if he was good or not.
I have a feeling you'll be very lucky to find a good tech, but if you do, please let me know.

That high voltage buzz
I have been in Little Rock for the past 2 years and found no one in the Central AR area that appeared to know about vintage gear. No parts dealers or electronic supply houses catering to the DIY crowd, few engineering courses that seem to get outside the college walls in any way.
In short: they all seem to have left the building.....I'm relocating to North Carolina now myself.
I'm sure there must be some folks around but they clearly aren't active in our circles or online.
Cheers,
David

Wow, that's a serious pile. I'd suggest you plan a road trip to someone like Terry Dewick over in Knoxville, TN (the foothills of east TN) especially for the Mac gear but also for the Marantz stuff.
You've got enough gear to make the drive worth while rather than risking shipment.

David
A lot lol.
Crown DC-300
Pioneer SX-1250
Pioneer SX-850,
Kenwood KR-9600
Trio W-400 (Asian Kenwood)
McIntoch MC-240
McIntosh C-22
Marantz 8B
Marantz 7C
Just to name a few. I'm looking at restoration.[/QUOTE]

Hello Steven.. good to hear from you. You're already on my list
.I'll give the Vo-Tech a try with a couple pieces and see what happens. The Mc I'll probably send to Binghamton, and the Marantz to Audio Classics. In fact, a McIntosh tech once recommended AC for my Mc restoration too. TRC

That's why there are so many big pick up trucks there - so you can carry all that alcohol back home to your dry county. There's lots of dry counties, too.
Cheers,

Close neighbor! I'm just a stone's throw south of Ash Flat down in the small town of Evening Shade.
You down in the village now?

Well awesome! What do you dabble in here? I'm more of a radio guy myself. :thmbsp:
