Repair question

Hello everyone..

Can anyone recommend me a trustworthy repair shop in SoCal to take care of my Dad's Fisher 500C ? He just got it out of Ebay not long ago and replaced all tubes, it probably need a full overhaul in order to get back to perform as it should.

Thank you!

Alonso.

The tubes he removed are probably of better quality than what you can buy today, regardless of their age. When he got it was it working? Did it sound better after re-tube. It is expensive to go through these units properly.
 
When he got it out of the bay it came without tubes (I guess for a reason :rolleyes:) the receiver works but not 100% as it was intended. FM/AM works, input works, but the balance is where he is having issues, no matter what he is playing, whenever he switch either left or right on the balance, nothing happens and both speakers keep playing.
Last night we started the overhauling process with Metalbone's kit and so far all is looking good.
 
It sounds like one channel input did not work and somewhere you will find wires feeding one input to both inputs into the amp.
