Rickenbacker repairers in Australia?

Hi

I was wondering if anyone on the list knows of repairers in Australia (preferably Sydney) who can repair a Rickenbacker 4003?

The bridge pickup is barely audible from the standard jack output but sounds fine coming from the ric-o-sound.

cheers

You can probably repair this yourself. Pull the jack plate, there's a pressure switch on the non-rick-o-sound jack that probably has a little corrosion or debris in the contacts. Just run a piece of very fine sandpaper between the contacts. Also clean the other contacts in the jack.

My Ricks always had this problem to some degree and were easily fixed by just cleaning the jacks....
