Billy Yates,
Venice Amplifier Company: I have over 20 years experience
in electronics and tube stuff has always been my forte. I have been
playing guitar for 33 years,and I have played for major acts. That experience
has given me an edge when it comes to quickly repairing guitar amps.
I have had a 100% success rate with no returns in the past 3 years since
I opened up my shop. All of my business has been word of mouth, and
I have only been servicing 3 music stores in the west LA area. I work
on anything tube oriented and will work on stuff that isn't Fender oriented.
I work on Gibson, Ampeg, Vox, Marshall, Hiwatt, Laney, Orange, Dumble,
and Oh Yea...Fender. How many ways can you slice a Western Electric
circuit? Anyway, I can help when nobody else wants too. I'll do it,
and with a 6 month warranty. Period. $35.00 an hour, estimates and basic
trouble shooting is free. I am located in Venice, CA. 310-821-4663. |

303-778-1156. Specializing in tube amplifiers, Fender in particular. Because of the enormous volume of work I have, I'm SLOW - so if

Over 40 years experience. Tons of tubes, speakers and repair parts in stock. Note that I do *not* do re-Tolexing, grille cloth, or
cabinetry - this ain't no beauty parlor. I'm amp tech for Derek Trucks, and I built the amps he uses with the Allmans. 'Nuff said. ;-) |

Geoffrey Reed: I have been building, repairing, and designing, tube based and other electronic equipment for music
since 1968. I especially like working on the older tube guitar amps, Fender, Marshall, MusicMan, Mesa Boogie, Vox, Hiwatt, and just about anything, but I prefer to
stay away from most solid state amps, except for a few of the better ones. I also recone speakers. Scott tells me that I'm the only person he knows who can recone
vintage speakers by restoring the original damaged parts. I guess I cultivated this talent by necessity as a teenager. I can restore ripped, spindled, frozen or off
centered cones, buckled spiders, and also some voice coils, by disassembling and restoring, reassembling the damaged parts. However this can be expensive!!!! Worth
considering for JBL's, they almost invariably have the same, correctable problem, and some Altec, Vox or Fender speakers that are worth two hundred$ as original eq, to
the owner. I have been doing this work for several music stores in the area for 15+ years and have had quite a few friends, studios, and other private clients for 35
years. Including Len Stea, (formerly of Stea Philips, in NYC, now Stea Sound in Westport, CT), and Freddie Hellerman (Pete Seger,et al), I charge $25 for estimate
deductible from repair price, and $40 per hour.

Mac/Amps, Berwyn, Illinois (a near Western suburb of Chicago).
I've been professionally servicing amps since 1973 (a musician since about 1963). I've had a close attachment to tube amps since
day one (although I've had a great deal of experience with [analog] solid state gear as well). After performing authorized
warranty service for virtually all major brands for over 20-years, I now focus my work more on the servicing, maintenance,
restoration, rebuilding, and preservation, of vintage gear (yes, I WILL still service most newer gear though). I am a
perfectionist by nature. I am quite proud of the various procedures I have contrived over the years for preserving transformers,
chassis, component boards, cloth covered wiring (as well as controls, jacks, sockets, tube pins, etc.), which also results in
the amp performing to it's absolute full potential. I also do speaker re-coning on [most] all popular instrument speakers.
Appointments are preferred at my new location (as of 11/01/03). Call for appointment & directions. Michael "Mac" McCullough

specialized in both Marshall and Fender mods and have incorporated some

but will take on any Boogie. I am NOT a fan of the Marshall 900 series,
enough said. I have an authorized Soldano sales shop at my disposal,

KING of the area, Precision Electronics. If he can't fix it, forget
it! I don't have a web site or even a computer right now (thank God

Dave Martinka, B Sharp Music, Providence, RI- I repair, maintain and modify amplifiers,
effects pedals, and some recording equipment. I have a great reputation and I stand by my work, which I’ve been doing for over 5
years. I have worked on Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, Mesa, Bogner, Dr Z, Orange, Soldano, and many, many more. I’ve been playing music for
15 years, playing clubs and bars in Providence, Boston, NYC and a bunch of other cities down the east coast. I treat everything I work
on as if I myself would have to rely on it as a working musician. My rate is $40 an hour, although I prefer to price things by the
complexity of the job. I will build kits, such as Weber, but I prefer that you consult me first, so we can discuss your needs and
design considerations. I also build effects pedals- we have a clean boost pedal used by a few nationally touring bands (ask for
details). Contact: B Sharp Music, 265 Broadway, Providence, RI 02903 (401) 223-2112 |

Steve's Electronics
& Sound: I live in the Newport,Oregon area and I am a Crate,Audio Centron
and Ampeg warranty service center for these companies and the local
area music stores as well. I have my own repair business as well as
retail outlet for musical equipment. I will work on anything that comes
into the shop but my favorite is Vintage Fenders. I have become quite
good at the Fender,Sunn and Marshall tube amps,and can usually diagnose
and repair most of them without a schematic. I will refer to schematics
to make sure the vintage status is maintained. I like to keep them as
they came from the factory and preserve the history of the sound. I
am familiar with Gibson and most any of the other tube amps but also
am very well versed in the solid state amps. I am the only tube service
tech for about 80 miles each way from my location and have got a solid
reputation that is easily referenced if needed. I am not an authorized
Peavey tech but repair many of their amps as they pass through the shop.
I am a one man organization and give each amp as much attention as it
needs to make it a quality piece of equipment when it leaves my shop.
I have been in business for almost 25 years. Steve's Electronics and Sound, 3198 Hwy 319, Aynor, South Carolina, 29511, 843-333-1101 ,

I have been a guitar player since 1968, and working on tube amps
since about 1978. I tore up my first Silvertone amp back in ''69- and
as punishment, Dad made me help him put it back together. I got an electronics
degree in '86, while still playing guitar in local bands. I specialize
in working on the older Fenders, Marshall heads-combo's (up-to-mid-nineties),
but I can do repairs on the "New Millenium" Stuff. Old Fenders, Marshalls,
Boogies, Gibson's (pre-'90's) are my favorites to do mods on. I've been
active in the study of restoration and modification for 13 years, and
I use my own 3 Marshall heads, and four of my old Fenders for testing
these mods live with my band. I have built and restored new and vintage
cabs, ( including the cosmetics, tolexing, tweeds) for pickers in the
West TN. area. Cabinets are built one-at-a-time, and take me a while
to finish. Baffles, and grill cloth replacement also. I give the customers
choice of speakers, but do offer my personal choices, if they want to
know. As much as I can, I service Pa audio amps, custom snakes and cabling,
build effects, do amplifiers, and teach guitar/bass. I'm very busy .
I only have part of each week to dedicate to tech work, though, because
I play quite regularly in my Blues-Rock trio called "HEAVY BLUES CHEVY".
Playing music, and getting killer tones has been the substance of my
entire life, and helping other players get what they want out of their
gear is also a very rewarding thing. |

Rob Hawkins
does work for several music stores in Virginia and has tons of satisfied
walk in customers. He works on many brands of tube amps but prefers
to specialize in Fenders. He prefers the hand wired amps, but
will work on a pc board model if there are no transistors or channel
switching devices (i.e., Boogie). He is set up for UPS shipping of amps,
and is experienced at packing up an amp the correct way so as to avoid
damage. He has never done a board kit but I feel he is a good source
if you are looking for a technician to install your kit. Rob Hawkins,
