Old school bench techs are hard to come by as most have passed away or are too old (arthritis and stuff like that) to continue. I'm one of the younger of that generation.
My first job after tech school in 1975 was TV and radio repair when almost everything coming in the shop was still vacuum tube. Didn't make much money, moved to AZ, got my engineering degree and ended up in integrated circuit design and test; a much better way to make a living.
I no longer do bench work except for myself and local musician friends. Not too long ago, I repaired a guitar amp for one of Alice Cooper's original guitarists, Michael Bruce. Really nice guy.
In past years, I've seen examples from pretty much every bench tech in the PHX area. In general, pretty shoddy work. The worst was (and I can't believe he put a sticker on the back of the piece with his name and phone number) a guy that during a repair removed all the Black Gate caps for his personal stash and replaced them with cheap equivalents.
Hopefully, one of the operations I recommended above will do a good job for you.
