Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted

My McIntosh MA6900 sat idle (in original boxes) for one year during home renovations.  Power Guard now kicks in upon turning power on (likely a capacitor died while idle).  My last McIntosh authorized service shop closed, next closest says 16 months queue!  Any recommendations that don’t have me shipping the very heavy unit or waiting over a year to get my center of my system back to life?  I’m in Fairfield County CT.  Any qualified technicians that are not part of McIntosh’s (shrinking) list of authorized service shops?

I suggest driving up to Boston, and bringing your amp to Goodwin’s High End in nearby Waltham. Working inside that store is Jim Fuller of Fuller Sound. He is excellent with all manner of electronics, and I’ve never waited very long. Worth the drive for great competence. Plus a world class brick and mortar shop.

My ARC SP9 MKll has developed some static.  I called the last good repair company in town and was told that they were down to one repair person and it would be a minimum of six months before they could look at it!  Not sure what to do. 😔

For repairs on the ARC SP9 MKII, consider contacting the following authorized service centers:

1. George Meyer AV: Specializes in high-end Audio Research service and repair.

2. High End Audio Repair: Offers both warranty and non-warranty services for Audio Research components.

Search the above names for the web pages I hope this helps.
