Soldering resistors in radio....Cincinnati area

I posted in the regional thread but those never seem to get as much exposure as elsewhere....So I've got the radio problem of not working and thus resulting in the A/C cranked up and no working lights on the instrumental panel. The best contender so far is shipping it to these guys down in Florida:

They'll go ahead and solder the weak resistors to fix the issue. Another member on here went to them and it works fine....I just don't want to ship a heavy radio that far. Is there anyone near Cincinnati or know of other places that do this type of work?

Thanks in advance.

I guess I never really thought about just taking it to a regular electronics store....but does anyone have pics of which resistors need to be soldered so I can show them?

Thanks

Anyone? If they take it apart will they see the burnt resistors? Searched on google for any images that could help me and didn't see anything.

Thanks,

Bump

Someone has to have taken their radio to an electronics store, is there anything I need to show them to fix? Never been in the nitty gritty of electroincs so not sure what to look for.

Thanks

nothing on this?

Thought someone would have taken their radio to an electronic repair store before....if anyone has insight on what they need to look for that'd be very helpful. Can't find any pics on what to have soldered. If no one chimes in I guess I can always mail it down to FL to that store.

Thanks

There is a guy you can send it to for like $100 to get it all working well again but how much is it really worth it when you can just buy someone else's unit for cheap that works.

I've bought three radios so far (1st on ebay that didn't work, sent it back...2nd on ebay, half of the items fell out due to USPS, 3rd from a G35member and it has the same problem of working only sometimes.....), and really can't keep on doing that since they all seem to be having this problem.

Who is the guy that fixes it for $100? Haven't heard of that option yet.
