Dont know about NYS but I do know that I haven't found any in Austin. I now fix everything myself, it works out better this way.
 
I've heard one or two good things about In-House Repair in East Setauket. If you can hold tight a little, I'm readying up a Pioneer SX-838 to go there in the next week or so so I may soon have a first-person opinion.
 
colortrakker, I am interested to hear how things go for you at In-House Repair. I have some old SAE equipment that I would like to have worked on and I'd rather not ship it. Good luck.
 
If your location in NY is close to NJ, check out Tim Schwartz, Bristol Electronics In Hohokus NJ.

Actually looking for a tech in nys for my G8000. While I love this site I find the search feature a lil' bit frustrating.
I'm hoping for some positive feedback from members who have had dealings with a good service tech.

If this thread hasent already been done, I will be glad to update and post your recommendations for others.

Thank you all I'll keep updating as they come in on the first couple of posts as to keep them handy for everyone.

Saratoga48- thanks for links I actually live in Glens Falls.
 
I realize Nashville isn't super close, but AK member Nakdoc is the real deal.

Thanks - it's only a two hour drive, well worth it. I've driven farther to purchase antique clocks :D Do you know if Nakdoc is still active on the board? I found a reference to him while searching under some old posts, looking for info on my 680zx, and sent him a PM to ask about service.

In-House Repair in East Setauket

I have used In-House Service over the years to work on my vintage harmon/kardon gear.

I have been pleased with Wayne's work and recommend him as a repair/restoration service for vintage h/k gear. :thmbsp:
