seeking repair advice on a BAT vkp-5


I lost the left channel of my phono stage last night. Pulled cover off thought it my be a tube, to my dismay three tube`s were out tried rolling them nothing changed the three tube socket`s were dead , issolating it to be a bigger problem other than tube`s. Here`s my question Im on the west coast BAT is on the east coast checked UPS calculator about 50 bucks one way. Should I suck it up on shipping or find a repair center that has a good reputation, (thats were you guy`s come in, who would you reccomend) I`m in Seattle area. David

fifty bucks ( shipping ) is a lot but consider if the repair is done wrong somewhere else. How much will it cost after to have it done the right way? Also consider a factory upgrade while its at BAT. This maybe your best alternative!Good luck!
