Default Any good Techs for 2x4-1000 amps in Fla?

I have two amps that are 2x4-1000 and they need a few upgrades.
Just wonder if there are any good techs that have worked on these types of amps here on the west coast of Fla.

Adam? Adam from AM Power? The same Adam that had problems building a 4 pill amp? You think he could work on a tube amp containing a pair of 4-1000's,the king of glass tubes?

Default These amps are way to heavy to ship.

The power supplies are very very large and heavy.
Has to be someone in Florida.

My bad there QRN,After a second look at that and realizing that it means 2x4-1000,Im feeling pretty dumb to say the least.I was wrong and please disregard my post.As far as the Adam bashing,I have had 2 of his boxes and still going strong.!!!!No more needs to be said!!Not into the B.S.

To be honest Kevin I'm not into the B.S. either but I just HAD to say that. I kind of figured you misread the 4-1000 but when opportunity knocked I had to open the door.
