CAT SL-1 RF issue and need to contact CAT

I have a friend with a CAT SL-1 MKII who, after moving to a new home, has run into a severe RF problem in only the right channel. I think we have isolated it down to the phono section. We switched tubes side to side and even replaced them with new tubes with no change. He is receiving a local C&W station loud and clear, and he isn't even a C&W fan. It just doesn't sit well with him to hear Brooks and Dunn singing background dis-harmony with Metallica. Worse than that they won't even shut up between cuts.
I recall reading in Stereophile some years ago about some CAT owners experiencing a problem such as this and that CAT's Ken Steven's had something that would fix it. The phone number for them in that last Stereophile gets me nowhere and I can't find a web page for them.
I would like to find a way to contact them other than snail mail, hopefully the street address in the same Stereophile is good. If any of you fellow inmates know of a way to contact CAT I would appreciate it. There is no local dealer for CAT so if the problem requires surgury it will probably have to be sent to CAT.
