He replaced all of the capacitors and one of those pesky "rundfunk gleichrichter" units, so everything is working fine now. For my inagural listening session I mixed up a martini and put Tak Shindo's "Accent On Bamboo" on the turntable. This particular disc has lots of martini scratches (as Jab affectionately calls them), but played just fine given the heavyweight tone arm and industrial strength needle this set has. My total bill for repairs was $150 and I'm very happy. If anyone needs an expert in audio equipment archeology, let me know because this guy is freakin amazing.
