  Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.

  ..........Ryan does excellent/honest work.

  Give him a call and see what he says about your G-9700.

  Cheers,

    Thanks for the tip - I'll keep that in mind. Shipping is out until proven absolutely necessary. I lost one 9700 to a previous FedEX foul-up and almost lost this one, too. So, my adrenaline's running a bit low for any further excitement. :LOL:

    Plus, if I'm going to drive 4-5 hours for the work I think it will be straight to these guys.:

    They like doing old receivers and I've heard nothing but excellent recommendations, so far. I also like their description of the shop.

    other side of the state.

    Try Overture in DE on 202 and see if they can fix your unit.
    Or Soundex in Ardmore or maybe the Willow Grove location. Both are known audio dealers and have repair but I don't know what they repair.

      ......from where I'm at. LOL :-)

      I should have checked a map I guess BUT Ryan's service cannot be beat for honesty and quality of workmanship.

      I am in no way affiliated with Ryan, just on very happy customer of his and yes I would rather ship units to be repaired/refurbished half way across the US than have it done locally!

      Cheers,

      Soundex in Willow Grove is unfortunately out of business. What a beautifull store it was.

  I am taking my NAD to a place in center city that is an authorized NAD dealer Monday. I will ask them if they do that work. They are closed weekends. I think he said Electronics service repair was the shop name on the message.

          I had my vintage tube Leak power amps repaired at HiFi sales in Cherry Hill. They did a good job. Friends have also recommended Community Audio in Chestnut Hill, which I'm going to try today for a Sonic Frontiers repair. I'll let you know in due course.

            Again, thanks for the follow-up. I'm a little put off by the experience of the other guy (see previous response), but maybe I'll stop by there for a chat. Can't hurt. :-)
