Addendum--- Stay away from Scan Audio; unless you're repairing mid fi stuff.vcrs and whatnots.
They,scan, have had a piece of mine for 2 months,to do a 1hr. job.I even included an email from the designer. It contained instructions;along with his cell #---In the email he states how easy a job it is.----- PAY 75 an hr.---You can get untrained help for 40/50 an hr. It takes them 5xs longer and you may have issues after the so called 'cheap' repair.

I'll echo Avguygeorge's warning about Scan Audio. They charged me $75 to put some handles back on a Perreaux 250P amp. A few days later when I was trying to figure out an unrelated problem I was having with the amp, a friendly Perreaux dealer (TotallyWired) told me how to take the top cover off. When I did, I discovered that I had just paid Scan Audio $75 for 10 minutes of work. I was so pissed I drove back to get $25 back. I'll never use them for repair work because I'll never trust that they'll provide a fair and reasonable estimate.

Thnks,Tvad. I hate being out there alone on this. The following is a TRUE statment.--Goes back to the late 80's. It was my first tube pre.The AR9. I was getting all this noise from the phono. I took it to them. They kept it for 3 weeks. They couldn't find anything wrong but I payed 40 bucks and it still had the prob.--- A day latter I discovered on my own, I needed a new tube.That was all!! Great Techs huh??------BTW, Howard, over there on Ventura Blvd ain't much better---(re. time and money) Tube gear ?? Take it to Monrovia.
