Vintage stereo repair

I need a place to repair early 70s stereo receiver, any suggestions?

Buy a new receiver. If you only need 2 channels, it will be less than $200.

I bring my early 70s Pioneer equipment to Audio 3000. They are in Jacksonville and their phone # is 904-557-8413. I've always had good service from them.

A friend uses Pro Audio Electronics in Tampa. Their # is 813-232-3907.

If you have other questions, let me know.

I have the equipment to test the receiver, however, I would need to get a copy of the schematic and repair manual if possible. You can send a PM with the symptoms and your phone number and we can get together, if you are interested.

I am really not interested in replacing the stereo. I have owned this Marantz for 30 years and the sound quality it produces is incredible, when it's working properly. :)

Thanks for the repair shop info.
The stereo was popping with low volume on one channel, and has progressed to little to no volume response .

With the additional info, you probably have one or more capacitors that have gone bad, a common problem in older equipment.
