Can anyone recommend a reliable amp repair person in the Palo Alto area?<br> <br> FYI I've tried contacting the folks at Vacuum Tube Valley (http://www.vacuumtube.com) and haven't gotten any response yet. post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77124 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:19:32 -0800 UlfMagnet tube amp http://ask.metafilter.com/77124/SF-Peninsula-tube-amp-repair#1145805 Can't speak for Palo Alto, but if you're willing to drive 15-20 minutes north, I can whole-heartedly recommend <a href="http://www.torresengineering.com/">Torres Engineering</a> in San Mateo. They have repaired several of my tube amps. They are very competent, have fair prices, and a reasonable turnaround time. <br> <br> Directions: 101 North to Hwy 92, exit El Camino North, right on 17th ave., left at Palm Ave., address is 1630 Palm Ave.<br> <br> <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=XM5&resnum=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=torres+engineering&near=San+Mateo,+CA&fb=1&cid=0,0,2824492239394367857&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image"> Google Maps linky</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77124-1145805 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:45:38 -0800 mosk http://ask.metafilter.com/77124/SF-Peninsula-tube-amp-repair#1145869 Not a boutique, but possibly Starving Musician could help as well. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77124-1145869 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:21:27 -0800 rhizome
