Sony6060 (The Audio Alchemist) rebuilt my Fisher x101-ST - and he did a killer job! He totally rebuilt & upgraded the power supply and upgraded all audio coupling capacitors. He also added a power choke & direct input to power tube option (so I could use it as a stand alone power amp if I wanted to).
His turn around time was super quick, and what was extra cool was the initial phone consultation/conversation to find out what my musical tastes are, listening habits, speakers, preferred formats etc. to optimize the sonic signature of the amp. Really just above and beyond on every level. The results were awesome and he continues to be a great source of knowledge whenever I have a question.

YOU !!
Come on ... you KNOW you WANT to ... jump in and get your feet wet ...
(Probably not practical advice when working with tube equipment, so forget that last part ...)
There really is a LOT you can do yourself. The resources here are invaluable. If you get in trouble, there will be someone that will help you out. I was always terrified to recap something until I was more or less forced to either do it myself or deal with shipping and another tech, etc. If you can change spark plugs and wires in your car, you can recap an amp. There's a great sense of accomplishment taking it on yourself.
If that's not in your comfort zone, then I'm sure there's someone here who will take it on.
