The last time I had to have an amp worked on, I went to a place in either Mt. Rainier or Hyattsville (not sure of the address) and they did a good job, but I can't seem to find any info. on them now so they may be gone. Does anyone know of a good place that's not too expensive that can work on a solid state amp? It's a Polytone and not worth a lot of $, so I don't want to go to a high priced place but I would like to save the amp. (The only listing I found that looked promising was outside of Baltimore, but I have no experience with them and that is a bit of a drive from the Rockville/Gaithersburg area.)

Thanks for the suggestion - I see that they're also in Baltimore. Have you had any work done by them or know them personally?

I use Big Crunch because I live in Baltimore but when I worked in DC I used either Central Electronics in Capitol Heights or the shop behind Atomic Music in Beltsville.

I used a place in Hyattsville once and they couldn't fix my amp but I don't remember the name. Sorry.
