    @kabot_avez,

    I don't know of any vintage amp technicians in or near Tulsa, but I can recommend that you contact:

    Jeffrey Jackson
    Precision Audio Labs

    314-550-9862

    He does excellent work at a reasonable price and is a pleasure to work with. He is an expert. He is completely reliable. He has completely rebuilt amy Perreaux SA33 preamp (~1989) and Perreaux PMF3150 amp (~1989). The preamp and amp both perform flawlessly. The shipping both ways from New Hampshire to Missouri was easy.

    Other than the fact that Jeffrey has performed this work on my equipment, I have no affiliation with Precision Audio Labs.

    That's great to hear that he did quality work Moose. Looks like Jeff's business is no longer located in Maryland Heights, MO like it was in 2011 when it was called stlouiscomputronics....working from his home now (according to the address)? His shop was really busy back then and turnaround time for my amp was 4 months. He replaced a resistor on a tube amp back then and although the amp worked, I'm assuming he didn't have the right value of resistor in stock so he piggybacked 2 resistors. Looked pretty amateurish, IMO. Wish I would have taken a pic at the time but I no longer have the amp. Not trying to rip on the guy, just sharing my experience.
