I posted this in another area and someone told this forums was here so I'll try. This is mainly a repeat of what I typed there.
After 15 years my quad receivers have died on me and I'm pulling my hair out trying to find someone that will fix them right without me giving up my first born. I have a Kenwood KR-9940 & KR-7340, Pioneer QX-9900 & Pioneer QX-8000A. I also have 3 Akai GX-630D-SS reel-2-reels that I'd like to get refurbished, 2 work ok but one has a dead motor I think. I've had these for 10-30 years (depends on the unit) and they've been great, I don't want to lose them.
I'm looking for info please, not a sermon on how the Sansui 9001 created the earth.:yikes I had a QRX-7500 and loved it though.
I have contacted a couple people on this and if it's ok I'll mention their names. My thoughts in doing that is so I can find out if their good or bad if anyone has dealt with them before. Here's who I contacted so far:
AVSL (Audio Video Service Labs) (Virginia)
Audio Specialist (Calif) (another post here said these folks were pretty good)
Tech Repair (Montana)
Revival Audio and Vinyl (Minn)
I have a 5.1 and 6.1 system but I never use them, I got started in quad back in 1973 and I love the sound too much to let it go. That and the fact that I have 98% of the music released in quad. (mainly discrete tape and LP) I hope I can get these fixed at a reasonable cost.
On a side note I thought of using 2 good stereos stacked (or amps) and run my reels, 8-tracks and quad TT through that, that's how desperate I am.
Thanks
