In Louisville, Ky. try Magnetic Tape. On the corner of Baxter And Payne. Then go down Payne to the corner of Payne and Spring to the Spring Street Bar And Grill. Get some hot wings and an order of the pepper cheese balls.

For the record I am a frequent customer of both these places but have no ownership interest in them.

A kind and gracious human being who happens to be AK's penultimate Yamaha guru. With those attributes, he also happens to be a very busy guy.

For those that live in NE Ohio, try Armies Electronics in Youngstown, Ohio. Ask for Anthony. He does good repair work and is very fair with his pricing. He also has a stock of vintage hifi for sale at all times.

Benny Amina, Modular Electronics.

Nice guy, true genius (also the guy who trained me in repair ). All the truly high-end stuff in town gets taken to him, he's also the only Bang & Olufsen Authorized Service Center in the entire Southeast.

Magnetic Tape in Louisville - been there - had a Kenwood tuner done there - great people - unique shop very 'old school'
Indiana - Classic Stereo in Fort Wayne - they have been in business since the late 60's and can service anything - they refurbished my Dual 1229, Sansui 7000 and my G-8000 - top shelf outfit

The guys there are friendly and honest and have a wealth of experience. When I began getting interested in audio, they were an incredible resource. If you are in the MO/IL area, I can't recommend them highly enough. (No affiliation, of course).
