Pioneer SX-1080 repair?

Hi
I have a Pioneer SX-1080 receiver that does not put out sound. Have tried it with some cheap speakers. The watts meter does not work. The unit turns on and the tuner works. Is there a good repair place in NYC area?

First check is make sure there are jumpers between pre-amp and power amp.

Thanks it works. Since the unit is old, I found it on the street here in Brooklyn, it was to be thrown out! What I am noticing now is the left & rear channels don't play on equal volume unless i move the Tone Switch. Then they play equal. Will have to get some better speakers. I have taken off the cover and it is dusty. What do you use to clean the contact points in the tone switch?

Deoxit. You can find it at Guitar Center or anyplace the that carries electronics.
