Looking for a good tech in the Philadelphia, PA area.

Hi all - I recently bought a used Canary tube amp that produces an an unacceptable buzz in both speakers. It was shipped from CA, so not interested in spending all that money on shipping, would rather put that money into a repair. Have searched around, made some calls, but can't find anyone, not to mention anyone qualified. Thanks in advance...I hope.

Hi again, especially lowrider57, Jim at Barracks Trading Post says he can do any repairs I might need, so looking forward to meeting him. Again, fingers crossed.

I'd like to know your impression if you have the work done.
Thanks to Lou for the recommendation.

Hi all - Had Jim check my amp out today, says everything is fine. Made suggestions as to what to look for in my rig and other things to try to quiet the noise. Only charged me for his time, was down-to-earth and was no-nonsense. The tech in North Jersey was raising his rates to $90/hour, charged a minimum of 1 hour, and had an 8-week backlog. Maybe he's worth it...? For my money, I would gladly work with Jim again.
