K2 Repair person

Mike Donovan
Who has a good reputation as a repair person for the K2.  I have a K2 (new to me) which had a few options stripped out of it before I bought it (KSB/AF/K100/External Antenna Tuner).  It receives great, but does not tranmit....  I dont have the testing equipment nor the desoldering station necessary to repair.  The rig was reported to have worked fine before the K100 option was removed, but I was not able to confirm it was ever tested in QRP mode.  S/N is 46XX.
A known repair person to this list would be greatly appreciated.  I will have to box it up next week and send it out.  Disappointed, but not giving up on the K2.

The "guru" of K2's is without a doubt Don Wilheim,he worked on my K2 two months ago and when it came back it receives and transmit better than new,so with my eyes closed and no hesitation I will always give it to him,He is your man.
