NYC Repair of Revox B795 direct drive turntable

A non-technical friend in Manhattan, NY asked where to take a Revox B795 direct drive turntable for repair by an experienced tech person. I only know it has stopped working, but no details, except it has worked correctly for decades, until just recently.

Also, if you can suggest a replacement turntable with equivalent automatic operation, in case repair is not practical.

As a last idea, whether anyone in the NYC area has an operating Revox turntable they are willing to sell locally.

If you end up looking for a replacement, keep your eyes out for one of the Denons from the early 80s - DP-57/60/62/70/80. These were *magnificent* DD turntables and were very well built. And they were damn good looking, too!!

$arm.leg for Stereo Exchange repair?
They send components to repair to http://www.highendaudiorepair.com/
Why not stepping directly there and save at least 40% of SE markup?"

Are you sure about that? Unless they changed something, SE's service department is down stairs. You won't see it if you go into the store. Someone has to take you to it. I've been down there several times.
