ARC M300 MKII call for help

Help! I have a pair of Audio Research M300 MKII mono blocks from yesteryear, and have enjoyed them for many years. One of them has a short in the panel behind the tubes. The guys down at the factory just got back to me, saying that they can no longer repair this model, due to age and lack of parts. Can anyone out there steer me to someone who might be able to repair it?  I can send pictures of the shorted out area. Would hate to retire these beautiful behemoths.

Shame on Audio Research not wanting to service an older product!

Who did you speak with at ARC, @bratscheboy? Although those amps are probably around 35 years old, they not listed as one of the few models ARC no longer services. See this.

Amps of that caliber not repairable?

Not a plus for that company.

Not only ARC company can't repair anymore amps. Pretty much all of them slowly declining. No new techs and old techs aren't forever.
