Have we found a replacement for Henk in West Sussex/Surrey? I tried a couple of the ones on the list but got no replies.

Henk is still working.  He has my two JMP's at the moment.

Thanks I wasn't aware he was still operating.

Any recommendations for Glasgow, Lanark/South Lanark?

No longer in Edinburgh, so the above area would be more convenient by half the journey time. Getting into edinburgh city centre from the outskirts can take a good percentage of the time it takes me to get from where I am to Edinburgh bypass

Already checked with ICBM and he's at capacity for the time being

Henk was temporarily out of action in the latter part of 2020 due to a bad knee injury and again for a short while early this year due to Covid. He's been working normally during most of this year and is providing his usual excellent service.

John at Radtronix just outside York.
Old school electrical engineer did an amazing job on my AC30CC1. Stripped and cleaned the whole thing. Diagnosed the weird noises, new rectifier valve, cleaned all the pots, found an intermittent conection to one of the boards, new springs in the reverb tank, squared up the bent chasis from 15 years on knocks. And tested a couple of old mullard valves I bought from ebay.  £180 all in.
The amp is now weirdly silent when not playing. Sounds miles better than i remembered.

John only responds to phonecalls not the contact box on his website.
It took him a couple of weeks but I wasnt in a rush.

Roland Lumby - The Amp Clinic.  He did a great job on my old original Vibroverb, and I have a Super Reverb from 71 that will go there soon.

Quick recommendation for Noisy Hammer in Norwich.  Had my AC15 head back up and running in no time, and they make a very nice-looking range of custom amps/cabs.  Great to finally find a capable, professional amp tech in Norwich!

Thanks @RyanNoisyHammer ;

anyone for Birmingham/west mids? I've come up dry with Steve and no one else seems to be doing it?

Also looking for someone around the Liverpool/Wirral area. Manchester is a bit too far for me to lug my amp (I dont drive)

Edinburgh Recommendation:  Time Travel Audio.

Stuart is a great guy to deal with, super knowledgable and passionate about his craft.  Had an issue with my Friedman sorted quickly.  Will certainly use them again!

The other guitarist in my band found another Amp tech in Surrey. Andrew Horseman in Horley, so near the Sussex border. www.horsemansoundworks.co.uk
He has my Marshall DSL401 at the moment so I will see how that goes.

The amp is back home now and worked fine at rehearsal. Price wasn't too bad taking in to account that the cost of valves is through the roof at the moment. So thumbs up for Andrew Horseman.

I have found a few names , but would be good for recommendations in Aylesbury area. 
It is for family member who has a 20+ year old Fender amp ( hybrid Princeton I think). It needs a good service and maybe some pots replaced.
