First of all, welcome to GPSFretworks, THE electronics shop located in Lawrence, KS. :-)
Just a note: We no longer service amps for individuals. I don’t really have the energy any more, and other shops are popping up. I only repaired amps because there were no others (that I knew of) in the area.
But GPS is still around.. we are doing repairs for non-profits (Americana Music Academy) , and helping out Sad Cowboy Recording Co. I’m also designing and building test equipment (XLR, 1/4 in plugs, etc.) so you’ll still see us around. And we’re sponsoring a new holiday album for 2025.
A note of advice: If you inherit an old tube amp, don’t think you found a diamond and want to sell it for a lot of money. If it has a two-prong cord, it’s already in need of quite a bit of maintenance to bring it back into life (just figure at least 150 bucks). Also, the low-end amps don’t seem to sell as well as the expensive ones, because if you’re going to drop that much money, you may as well go with quality, power and a reputable brand. Research on the internet for the average price.
