I got this P2200 last fall and have not been able to find a tech to service it yet.
The local tech that I've used several times is in Walnut Creek and the place is called Technopia. I had him fix minor issues with my C-80 twice and he did a great job both times. I took the P2200 in to him, but he ended up only charging me the estimate, and after about a month he called and told me there wasn't anything he could do with it. He did replace a few parts while he had it, and he included the replaced parts in a small plastic bag:
I don't really fault my existing tech for not being able to do more because he repairs more VCRs, DVD players, and TVs, than vintage gear.
What I would like is to find a tech somewhere here in Northern California (within ~100 miles of SF Bay Area) that is confident repairing vintage Yamaha gear. In the short term, I'd like to get this P2200 fixed. In the longer term, I have two P2201's and an M-2 that have all gone their whole lives without even basic maintenance and I'd like to have them in for that if not a whole recap within the next ~5 years. So if I can find a good tech, I have a lot of business to steer their way. :yes:
If there are no local techs and my only option is to ship it, I'm open to that, but would like to keep it as a last resort just due to how heavy these things are.
