preamp rebuild...

[onthegreenline]

Looking for an idea on what I can expect to pay to get my 5-pin suitcase preamp rebuilt - the more I look at it I suspect it was worked on previously as there are some "interesting" solder joints and some poorly mounted caps. It works for about 10-15 minutes and then the sound either cuts out or gets distorted and the power lamp dims a bit. Anyone in the Boston area or a good mail order service?

I'd also be willing to trade a perfectly good suitcase power amp in exchange for a rebuild or a rebuilt preamp - anyone interested?

I believe he's located in cambridge, I talked to him a while about doing some restorations on my rhodes, but then I decided to just give them a try myself. He seems like a really nice guy. His prices seemed a little expensive to me, but that might just be the going rate.
