I'd try Nick Gowan at True Sound in Campbell, CA. True Sound is an authorized USA service center for Audio Note and some other brands. Nick has an excellent reputation for repairs and modifications of tube gear. Sourcing exact replacement parts for your amp, if needed, could be an issue as it appears there is no longer a US distributor. Good luck to you.

plus 1 on Nick.
He's the best.
The ONLY person I trust with my
Garber/FI amp and pre.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm waiting to hear back to Yamamoto and the European distributor to see if there is a new US distributor. Ideally, if there is no US distributor, I'd like to find a repair center somewhere in the Southeast to minimizze the shipping times, but I'll keep Nick's info handy just in case.

Another possibility is Deja Vu Audio in McClean, VA. Not so far from Atlanta. They make their own line of tube amplifiers (including SET) and do a full-service repair business of other brands.
Thanks for the suggestion, Gary. You still enjoying the EML 2A3's I sold you almost 4 years ago? ;)

Actually, I evolved to a 300b SET, but before than used the EML 2a3s in a DejaVu SET for a year or more and enjoyed every minute.
Ah, amp evolution. I know about it all too well. I tried out an Allnic 300B integrated to see if it would dethrone my Supratek/Yamamoto combo. It did not. I'm just gonna stick with what I have (if I can get it repaired) because I've grown tired of trying to chase "better" sound.
