I paid him to fully clean, recap and do trace repairs on a 5126 Backlit Macintosh Portable, and he is well known in the community. He attends VCF shows too. On that form page, choose General Inquiry and then describe that your 400K drives need servicing.

That's not to say he is the only person able to do the job. But I am merely citing someone in your part of the country that I have personal experience dealing with, and I walked away completely satisfied.

I saw you were getting hassled in “that other forum” today. Some people are in serious need of tact.

Just wanted to follow-up to see if Thomas Andrews worked out.

he never responded but I found someone. I have a pinched nerve in right arm that kills fine motor skills in my dominant hand (So I cant do the tiny springs and such) but gross motor skills are fine so I can disassemble a Mac and remove the drive no problem.

Some people have no class.

I put out a reply indicating his response was insufficient.

There's resources in this community, but they're kind of sparse. I.E. I'd like have my SE/30 motherboard reflowed and looked over, but I don't know of anybody who can do it.

I see what you wrote in that other forum today, and you handled it nicely.

I never tried to contact Thomas on your behalf only because I assumed he would reply to you, but do let me know if you ever want to persue his services because I can reach out to him about your contact attempt.
