quick - need parts retailers Wash DC area

mashaffer · 15th May 2008, 09:49 PM

It looks like some modifications and tweaking of Wes's amp will have to take place when I get there. I can order some parts that I am sure I will need to have them delivered there but I may need a source for a quick parts run.

I am thinking of things like high voltage caps, tubes and jacks. Does anyone know of good shops in the suburban DC area? I leave on Sunday.

Only downside of Angela is they don't do walk-in's or pickups. It's a bummer, but probably keeps costs down. They're very quick shipping though.

It would be great to find a walk-in parts supplier other than Radio Shack. The guys over at http://www.wpsworld.com do repairs and may be able to make a recommendation. Soundworks is a hi-fi shop that may be willing to share a suggestion? http://www.soundworksmd.com.

The amp is completed and delivered. Since there is so much distance between us I would like to find a good Guitar Amp Tech in the DC suburban area that I can recommend to him in case he has any problems that we can't resolve over the phone. It doesn't look like that is the kind of thing that WPS does so does anyone have any suggestions/personal experiences?
