Title: List of repair outfits to replace caps on my Duo?
Post by: PhilBiker on March 15, 2015, 12:20:36 PM

I'm looking at this forum loaded with GREAT information but what I don't see is a contact list for folks to do a complete cap replacement for my original Turbo Duo.  I've done a lot of soldiering over the years - enough to know that this is beyond my skills.  Is there such a list maintained here?  I'm near Washington DC and would like to get the old Duo back in action.

I too am looking for reputable repair shops / people. My Duo wasn't turning on so I had a local tech do a cap replacement. It turns on now but freezes. I'd love for someone with more experience take a look and possible upgrade other parts on it. I am near Portland, Oregon. Thanks!

Your best bet is thesteve and Keith courage.  If your system is working just fine but just needs a re-cap, there are plenty of people, myself included, that can do a simple recap.  But since you are looking for help, there is a good chance your system needs more than just a recap and those 2 guys can actually diagnose and fix your broken shit.  Just because a recap is the most simple solution doesn't mean it's a universal fix.

chop5 is also a good choice, as is BlueBMW
