Recommendations For RCA Compressor repair

First post, I appreciate your advice in advance.

I have a RCA BA86-A Compressor that has ceased to function properly. It can still be used as an amplifier, but doesn't compress signal anymore.

Does anyone know the best person to contact about repair in the U.S.? The expert on RCA compressors?

I'd take it under normal circumstances, but am too slammed currently.

Replace the 6R7 and see if it works. Have the 6K7's been checked lately? Run the self tests with the built in meter? If you can use a multimeter, ohm out T4 and see that it's correct. Check that limiting switch S3 has continuity in the 'on' position (it is on, right?). That should save you $100+ before you ship it off.
