Am looking for a tech to work on my really old equipment AND

Have an ARC D-115 mk ii and an ARC SP 10 mk ii.  The pre works but could be looked over.  The amp works but has issues.  Am new to southern Delaware.  Anything near me?  Have used ARC for repairs before, but hear they are not doing the old tube stuff anymore.  Am willing to ship but could use some referrals...

AND ... was a former member of audiogon for many years -- early 2000s. In fact bought my sp 10 on the site. Know my old user name and email address at that time, but have forgotten my old password.  Would like to be 'me' again!  Suggestions on how to reach audiogon and work this out appreciated!

I think ARC still services your gear.

Agree with cleeds.  Call ARC and ask for Greg, who took over after Kal retired.  The only caveat is that with this COVID business going on, ARC may not have quick turn-around.

You may also consider asking ARC to refer you to a local (or at least closer) authorized ARC repair station.  There used to be an ARC authorized tech located in Jenkintown, PA, but he retired a year or so ago.  The tech used to make house calls, which was great because my ARC gear weighs a ton.

Last suggestion is to call Overture, which is an authorized ARC dealer and is located in Delaware.  One of the folks there may be able to refer you to a reliable tech.

On balance, I like the idea of having your gear scrubbed by ARC, … if they will service it.  Your gear is long in the tooth and ARC can bring it up to original factory spec.

Stay safe and healthy,
