Good question. There used to be a commercial and amateur radio shop downtown. Believe it was called HEMEC. They are long gone now. I suggest contacting the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio Club (https://www.sbarc.org/) and/or the Ventura County Amateur Radio Club (https://k6mep.org/). The organizations may be able to provide you with some help finding a repair shop that is local. There may even be a radio club member or two that specialize in old radio repair and would take on the project. It’s worth a shot sending the clubs an email.
Thank you John. As you say, it’s worth a shot.
The Transoceanic series were great radios. I have come close to buing a 7000 several times. I doubt there are any local places to service it, but there are several specialists that you could ship to that focus on these radios. As I understand it there are some unique parts that a dedicated shop would have that a general electronics repair place wouldn’t.
I need to dig through my inbox to find the places that were recommended to me when I last _almost_ bought one. The only one I remember is this guy who uses ebay as his storefront and payment service. He’s down in Chino…
