Geoffrey Reed: I have been building, repairing, and
designing, tube based and other electronic equipment
for music since 1968. I especially like working on
the older tube guitar amps, Fender, Marshall, MusicMan,
Mesa Boogie, Vox, Hiwatt, and just about anything,
but I prefer to stay away from most solid state amps,
except for a few of the better ones. I also recone
speakers. Scott tells me that I'm the only person
he knows who can recone vintage speakers by restoring
the original damaged parts. I guess I cultivated this
talent by necessity as a teenager. I can restore ripped,
spindled, frozen or off centered cones, buckled spiders,
and also some voice coils, by disassembling and restoring,
reassembling the damaged parts. However this can be
expensive!!!! Worth considering for JBL's, they almost
invariably have the same, correctable problem, and
some Altec, Vox or Fender speakers that are worth
two hundred$ as original eq, to the owner. I have
been doing this work for several music stores in the
area for 15+ years and have had quite a few friends,
studios, and other private clients for 35 years. Including
Len Stea, (formerly of Stea Philips, in NYC, now Stea
Sound in Westport, CT), and Freddie Hellerman (Pete
Seger,et al), I charge $25 for estimate deductible
from repair price, and $40 per hour.

| IL | Mac/Amps, Berwyn, Illinois (a near Western suburb of Chicago). I've been professionally servicing amps since 1973 (a musician since about 1963). I've had a close attachment to tube amps since day one (although I've had a great deal of experience with [analog] solid state gear as well). After performing authorized warranty service for virtually all major brands for over 20-years, I now focus my work more on the servicing, maintenance, restoration, rebuilding, and preservation, of vintage gear (yes, I WILL still service most newer gear though). I am a perfectionist by nature. I am quite proud of the various procedures I have contrived over the years for preserving transformers, chassis, component boards, cloth covered wiring (as well as controls, jacks, sockets, tube pins, etc.), which also results in the amp performing to it's absolute full potential. I also do speaker re-coning on [most] all popular instrument speakers. Appointments are preferred at my new location (as of 11/01/03). Call for appointment & directions.

| RI | Dave Martinka, B Sharp Music, Providence, RI- I repair, maintain and modify amplifiers, effects pedals, and some recording equipment. I have a great reputation and I stand by my work, which Ive been doing for over 5 years. I have worked on Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, Mesa, Bogner, Dr Z, Orange, Soldano, and many, many more. Ive been playing music for 15 years, playing clubs and bars in Providence, Boston, NYC and a bunch of other cities down the east coast. I treat everything I work on as if I myself would have to rely on it as a working musician. My rate is $40 an hour, although I prefer to price things by the complexity of the job. I will build kits, such as Weber, but I prefer that you consult me first, so we can discuss your needs and design considerations. I also build effects pedals- we have a clean boost pedal used by a few nationally touring bands (ask for details). Contact: B Sharp Music, 265 Broadway, Providence, RI 02903 (401) 223-2112 |

| SC | Steve's Electronics & Sound: I live in the Newport,Oregon area and I am a Crate,Audio Centron and Ampeg warranty service center for these companies and the local area music stores as well. I have my own repair business as well as retail outlet for musical equipment. I will work on anything that comes into the shop but my favorite is Vintage Fenders. I have become quite good at the Fender,Sunn and Marshall tube amps,and can usually diagnose and repair most of them without a schematic. I will refer to schematics to make sure the vintage status is maintained. I like to keep them as they came from the factory and preserve the history of the sound. I am familiar with Gibson and most any of the other tube amps but also am very well versed in the solid state amps. I am the only tube service tech for about 80 miles each way from my location and have got a solid reputation that is easily referenced if needed. I am not an authorized Peavey tech but repair many of their amps as they pass through the shop. I am a one man organization and give each amp as much attention as it needs to make it a quality piece of equipment when it leaves my shop. I have been in business for almost 25 years.

| TN | MICK DYCUS- Dycus Music Electronics Services, 200 Kist Ave., Dyersburg, TN. 38024. Ph. (731) 285-3173. E-mail- mickchev@netzero.net cell# (731) 589-0162. I have been a guitar player since 1968, and working on tube amps since about 1978. I tore up my first Silvertone amp back in ''69- and as punishment, Dad made me help him put it back together. I got an electronics degree in '86, while still playing guitar in local bands. I specialize in working on the older Fenders, Marshall heads-combo's (up-to-mid-nineties), but I can do repairs on the "New Millenium" Stuff. Old Fenders, Marshalls, Boogies, Gibson's (pre-'90's) are my favorites to do mods on. I've been active in the study of restoration and modification for 13 years, and I use my own 3 Marshall heads, and four of my old Fenders for testing these mods live with my band. I have built and restored new and vintage cabs, ( including the cosmetics, tolexing, tweeds) for pickers in the West TN. area. Cabinets are built one-at-a-time, and take me a while to finish. Baffles, and grill cloth replacement also. I give the customers choice of speakers, but do offer my personal choices, if they want to know. As much as I can, I service Pa audio amps, custom snakes and cabling, build effects, do amplifiers, and teach guitar/bass. I'm very busy . I only have part of each week to dedicate to tech work, though, because I play quite regularly in my Blues-Rock trio called "HEAVY BLUES CHEVY". Playing music, and getting killer tones has been the substance of my entire life, and helping other players get what they want out of their gear is also a very rewarding thing. |

Rob Hawkins does work for several music stores in
Virginia and has tons of satisfied walk in customers.
He works on many brands of tube amps but prefers to
specialize in Fenders. He prefers the hand wired
amps, but will work on a pc board model if there are
no transistors or channel switching devices (i.e.,
Boogie). He is set up for UPS shipping of amps, and
is experienced at packing up an amp the correct way
so as to avoid damage. He has never done a board kit
but I feel he is a good source if you are looking
for a technician to install your kit. Rob Hawkins,
