42-340 - looking for electronics update/repair
#1

I purchased a beautiful 42-340 a few years ago when I lived in California. The cabinet is pristine, and the radio played well. . . until I shot some electronics cleaner into it. (Yes, I've learned a whole bunch of lessons.)

Anyway, I still have this pristine looking radio but need to find someone who can diagnose and repair whatever I've done. Right now it's just static coming through. At the same time as the diagnosis/repair, I'll happily pay to have it brought up to safe standards with new capacitors and whatever else is needed.

I'm in Northern Utah, just outside of Ogden. Does anyone here know of either a good Utah source, or is there somewhere I should ship my radio to? Thanks in advance. (I can post photos if it's of any help.)
