Becker Service value
Just wondering how is the experience of sending a 1970 vintage Europa to Becker for service. Mine works ok, 1/2 amp is out but otherwise it works, lights up etc. Tuning is terrible.
What can I expect when I get it back from Becker in NJ?

To answer my own question:
Very pleased with the Becker Service Center. $210 got my 1970 vintage Europa ship shape and good for another 30 years of service. $160 for base service, $50.00 for a new amplifier circuit board (1/2 was fried)
Spoke to the actual tech working on my unit which was cool. Cleaned, tuned, new bulbs, program memory buttons all work, locks in gazillions of stations and sounds great. Tech said he would send it on Monday, Tuesday it was on my porch when I got home from work. Excellent experience.
