+1 for Michael at Brit Audio. He does fantastic work. I've had several arms done by him.

Some years ago I used member Jim Howard who unfortunately is no longer with us.

So I wondered if a new repair problem came up who would be reliable to turn to?

Didn't stop me from sending him a Linn Ittok. Great work, my job was surprisingly inexpensive even taking into account the shipping.
