If this is not allowed, or posted in the wrong place, my apologies and please feel free to remedy it, thanks.

Can anybody recommend a tech for repair/recap of Solid State receivers in the Minnesota or Western Wisconsin area?
Thanks.

Tyler @ TCTubes in St. Paul has been doing repairs for his shop and HiFi Sound in Minneapolis. He's almost as anal as I am. :biggrin:

You'd have to contact Absolute Sound Labs to find out if they will work on your particular gear. They only seem to work on a limited amount of non-McIntosh equipment. For example, I asked them if they could look at my Pioneer SX-1250, and they said no.

There is also Savage Audio. They do a lot more than just guitar amps. I stopped in there a while back, and there was a large variety of gear in for service. They said that they'd be happy to work on my SX-1250 (although I haven't actually brought it to them yet.)

Ah, I didn't even think about Savage. Jeff has been wanting to build me a guitar amp for years! I'll check with them.

Ideally, I'm really leaning towards finding a private tech. Any one have any suggestions?
 
What is the piece of equipment? Knowing that might make a difference as many guys are particular what they work on.....

I have a couple projects. A Marantz 4300 with what could be a minor issue, plus possible recap. And an HK 930 that lost output in one side first with a small pop, then two seconds later, lost the other side with the same small pop. Now, my dim bulb tester indicates a short.
