Billy Cooper is the only shop. Last time I chatted he was no longer taking in outside repairs due to a health issue.

Don't know if I can help. I'm just up the road from you.

In need of adjustment, repair or...?

Details would help.

The 'repair' I need is minimal (noise from the output jack and some minor adjustments). My real need is for someone to figure out how my changer works (a custom design by Lamar steel guitars) and then explain how to tweek it and the undercarriage mechanics accordingly. So "mechanic plus educator" I suppose.

"Custom" and "Lamar" does not sound like me.

Sorry,

h

p.s. fwiw, I'd give Billy a call. His health issue might be over by now. You're a former customer, I believe?
