[ale] OT: music sites?

[Jeff Hubbs]

Geoffrey -

Last spring, I took my reel-to-reel to a place that seems to be called 
simply "Electronic Repair" at 5226 Hwy. 78 in Stone Mountain.  The guy 
knew exactly what he was doing, and he'll certainly get more of my 
business.  My Pioneer turntable and receiver both need a little work also.
