VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks

Could anyone recommend someone that could work on VTL 300 Deluxe? They are currently working. I power them up with a variac so the caps don’t blow. However, they should be updated with new caps, internal wiring, etc. I don’t feel competent to DIY this,
so am looking for a professional. BTW, VTL will no longer do work on them. I guess they want me to go buy one of their newer models.

I have dealt with Bea.  She and Luke Manley are truly horrible people.    Worst company I have dealt with in my 54 years on this planet

I did inquire and spoke to Bea probably 25 years ago about upgrades. At the time she was really pushing their new Signature transformers (had gold tops I believe) that in essence turned the 300 into a 450. The mod was more than I paid for the amps (used) and since they were driving ESL63s I didn’t really want/need the extra power.

LOL so you do know Bea,  OP.

I had Wotan, like serial number X3 and 4 or something like that. I was running them on 220/240. I'm not kidding I had a 200.00 a month increase in PG&E, when I started with them being wired at 120.

220/240 was a vast improvement in my PG&E and SQ. The problem was it took 3 trips to get it right... I wound up dropping them off in Aspin. 
Man could they heat up a whole house.. Good place for them too..
