| - Well I finally got my receiver fixed. I'm not going to pretend that I'm an audio expert, and thus I won't talk about things I don't know. My story is as follows: I own an old Kenwood KR-7050 receiver. I noticed it didn't work after a particularly crammed car ride up to State College(but not to say I knew it worked before). It powered on, but no sound came out.
I took it to Atlas audio repair around noon one day. The kid behind the counter told me it was $40 to get it looked at, but that $40 would be taken off the cost of the repair if I got it fixed with them. Fair enough, I paid and got a claim check.
At 3pm that day, I was called and told my estimate was ready. I called back and they said it would be $138, minus the $40 I had already paid. I didn't know anything about the stuff, so I said OK. He said it would be done tomorrow.
Sure enough, tomorrow they gave me a call and told me it was done. I couldn't go in that day, so I went in this morning and picked it up. It was wrapped tightly in plastic and the kid held the door for me on the way out.
When I got home, it worked! I noticed that a few of the switches on my model were bent, but they bent right back into place easily - so I am not sure if it was done by the tech, the plastic, or by my own transportation.
Since I don't know about how much this stuff should cost, I will list what they claim to have replaced and you can make your own judgement:
2 regulators
1 lamp
Clean + something(can't read)
$138.00
