Unfortunately not, I'm in upstate New York, but you could always ship stuff
to me.

Good point about the alcohol. My bad to assume that we'd all be on the same
page.
 
Re: the repair shops: Yes, I am certain that there are good tech's and shops
out there (Kevin Lightner of Synthfool for one). I am just really anal about
my stuff and I look long and hard for the best condition synth of a
particular model and then spend even more time completely restoring it
cosmetically and taking it apart completely and cleaning / lubing it
refinishing the wood etc. Then to have some bozo F up my work, lose my
hardware and then have to give him money for the privilage just REALLY burns
my ass. Especially considering that it's so simple to take a couple of extra
seconds to organize and take care handling the equipment.
 
It's unfortunate but I have seen this happen more often than not.
 
So um, you wouldn't happen to be in the L.A. area, would you?
