Any one know of a trusted expert Fender amplifier service/repairer who can give my ageing 135watt Twin a set of new valves and some TLC?
I am based in Central Scotland.

Chris, if you have the time why not DIY(do it yourself).
All you really need are a few basic tools, digital multimeter and a soldering iron(with some practice anyone can solder) would be enough to get the job done. As long as you have the parts available it is really only swapping like for like parts. If you post questions and PHOTOS here, there are many folks that would surely give you advice and ideas. If you opt for the find a tech in your area option that's fine too but isn't w/o its own set of potential issues.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried DIY techniques and that is why I need to find someone that knows what they are doing to correct my efforts. I think I may now have got a contact to sort things out for me.
