Repairman needed

[hurdy_gurdyman]

Need help recommending a repairman to replace electrolytic caps on a vintage Pioneer SA7800 integrated amplifier. Any recommendations? BTW, I'm in Michigan.

I have not personally used them but here in GR I've heard a lot of good about https://www.misfitzaudio.com/

I would also replace the small signal transistors as well, they can and do go bad.

A friend of mine recently had his Sony TA-F808ES completely restored at Muse Audio in Ann Arbor, MI. They have various levels of restoration from basic, mid and custom alternatives. He was nervous as expected but it's been 4-5 weeks since he brought the 808 home and says this may be the first time he's actually "heard" the 808 since buying it six years ago. He seemed really pleased with his outcome and I've considered them for some of my restoration needs, but I'm very cautious to put myself and my equiupment bought new and untouched since the '70's out there without as much vetting as possible. No second chances once the wrong hands have tainted an otherwise virgin unit. Anyway, depending on where you are in MI, here's an option to consider. Good luck either way!
