Tube Amp Repair/Service - Minneapolis/St. Paul - ?

I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for service of tube electronics, in the Cities. I have a 'newer' stereo integrated that could use some love. With 2 little (<5 yo) kids, my time for personal repairs is a thing of the past.

Any tips are welcome, be it for private repair, or more commercial.


Thanks!

T/C Tubes is a great place to start.

Tyler @ TC Tubes has done some minor work for me in the past on my tube amps and I highly recommend him. He and his wife Chelsey are probably two of the nicest people I have ever met in the industry.

However, If you need work done that extends beyond basic servicing or a general tune up I would contact Jim Sawyer @ Sawyer Audio in New Brighton. I have used him for several years and he is fast, reasonably priced and extremely knowledgeable. I know TC Tubes also uses him for more complex and extensive repairs.

@chrshanl37 Thanks for tip on TC Tubes. They did a great job (even added a variable/preamp out, per request), and for a very reasonable price. Great folks to work with, as well.
