Could be cheaper to just buy a new one these days, especially if it is a tube amp.

Good luck.

Just wondered if anyone knew a reputable repairman that someone may have used before.

Jim Hill @VVT Amps in Waldorf. He is the closest. Otherwise, u have to go up on the beltway. Use the google to find their website. They also build boutique amps.

What's wrong with them? SS is typically something simple. I disagree with the comment about tube amps not being worth fixing. They are the only things worth fixing.

A bit of a hike but well worth it. More of a tube amp guy but he's fixed a few solid states for me also.
