Nor Cal tube service

Hello I'm fairly new here and definitely new to tube receivers. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good shop in northern California ( preferably close to San Francisco ) that could go through and fix up an old Fisher 800c that I own. It sounds O.K., but I don't think it's ever been serviced and I have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks, Jeff

If the prospect of changing out components in a working receiver doesn't make you pee your pants, then stop by the Fisher Forum. Great bunch of guys very willing to walk you through a DIY restoration.
 
Yeah, if you have a controlled temperature soldering iron and some time you could probably do the work yourself.

If it sound ok and is used regularly i'd just keep it 'as-is'. Lots of
good stuff has been damaged by so called "upgrades" that is very seldom needed.
 
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm sure I'll get a receiver to toy with in the future but I don't know enough to toy with this one and I want to be playing it asap.
Thanks, Jeff

Usually very busy so it's best to make an appointment to see when it's best to bring your Fisher in.
