Dr. John at HI Fi Hospital in Erie, Pa. is highly recommended. Fast turnaround and reasonable rates. He also has a varied selection of vintage gear and speakers for sale in his shop.
Reputable service techs in your state.

In the Detroit area, try Morrell Electronics, 22770 Orchard Lake Road, Farmington, MI 48336-3227. His phone number is (248) 474-1591. Paul recently fixed a "tough dog" Pioneer SA-500 integrated amp for me and did a beautiful job. I felt that his charges were quite reasonable, too.

I have one for Pittsburgh, Pa:
Phil's TV
110 Sheridan Ave,
Bellevue, PA 15202
The main technician not only performs diagnostic work, but he also repairs and sells Hammond organs and Leslie cabs. They prefer tube over solid state regarding repairs. The turnaround takes a little while, but you can't find technicians like this anymore. Highly recommended.

Anyone in the Northeastern WI area? More specifically Green Bay and the fox cities.
I thought I found someone awhile back via CL but that turned out to be a bust. Also any
shops? Anyone ever use a shop in Green Bay called Technical Difficulties? They seem like a likely candidate.
Fwiw distance isn't that big of a deal either I'm willing to drive aways to if necessary for someone good.

Too Much Power!
Mike @ A/V Electronics in Mansfield, TX. A true technician in the least. He has a reputation around here (DFW metroplex) for fixing vintage gear. Sofar I have had him repair 4 of my receivers, a Pioneer SX-1980, SX-1280, SX-5590, & Marantz 2275. He does beautiful work and he is working on his fifth unit from me, a Marantz 2500. I have inspected his work and he is a wizard with the soldering iron! His prices are also very reasonable. It should be noted that he was able to bring my SX-1980 back from the dead. The Marantz 2500 was also dead when I brought it to him and pretty soon, it will have a heartbeat again...... I hope.

A few months ago I left my McIntosh MC2105 with fellow AKer jblmar, aka Ron. My experience with Ron was overwhelmingly positive, he was really great throughout the whole process, letting me know what happened every step of the way. I'd say his service charge was more than reasonable for the work completed and I have no regrets sending my amplifier to him.
If you are in the NYC area, I'd recommend going with Ron first before having a unit shipped out for repair. People like him make me proud to be a member of AK.

There isn't any good tech in SW Florida.
Never heard of a good tech in the Miami area.
I don't think there is a good tech in Southern Florida.
Tampa is the nearest place from what I have read in this thread. Might swing by there someday, need to go to the 'Speaker Exchange' too.
