[Drake] Drake TR7 repair & service ? - Help G4PUQ

[Robert L Lapp]

I asked for recommendations for my Drake repair a couple of months ago on
this and other reflectors and the overwhelming choice for quality, service,
price and complete satisfaction was far and away given to Jeff Covelli...he
gets my vote as well.

Peter,

I can second the suggestion of Jeff Covelli; I have known him for about
thirty years, and he is a first-rate expert on Drake and a real
gentileman.
