Hi all,
Well, I went to eham and looked at the reviews, and called some of them, and the one that answered, was Gary, k0GX.
Very nice to talk with.
He works on Kenwoods, and on 120s.
He told me make sure to send the power cord with the rig, and the schematic, and the manual, which I have both.
The thing about Gary that is also appealing is, ka9fox, who is the owner of qth.com, and if he likes him, and he's a stickler for not getting ripped off or cheated by anyone, (just look at the web site, and his rules for buying used gear), then I'm satisfied.
However, I looked at others, and some of them I listed, I got to the letter R.
So, below, is the stuff I found.
I thank you all for mentioning eham reviews and I'm glad I went there! I'm just thinkin about just sending both the rig and power supply, then we don't have to mess around with cords, etc.
So, here's what I found. Now the k4EAA, he doesn't do 120s, but he does most of the other kenwoods.
See below,

Amp Repair Time owned: months
I've had an Emtron DX-2 for about a year and have had no problems until last week, suddenly wouldn't tune up on 160m, called George who owns the business, told him my problem, he said bring it out, he meant the next day, he was in the middle of a big project, but I misunderstood and showed up that afternoon. He took it in anyway and put it on the bench, found the problem, repaired it and sent me on my way.
I'm a happy camper.
He can fix most any amp, radios too, if your in need give him a call 434-237-8255
Audio-Visual Service
Rating: 5/5
Before shipping my amplifier out of state, I came across Audio-Visual Service run by Eric Falkenhan, WA3TAD in Baltimore, Maryland. Eric has worked on all sorts of radios for many years and his shop is a museum of vintage radio and audio-visual equipment. Eric has overhauled my Ameritron amplifiers, his rates are very fair, and I am completely satisfied with his service. Eric has a wealth of information on radios of all types and is an excellent resource for hobbyists. Eric runs his shop the way it used to be - friendly and responsive. One immediately sees that Eric loves what he does and it shows in his work. If you have a vintage radio or a current radio that needs repair or restoration, you should consider Eric. He does not have a webbsite, but his email address is: [log in to unmask]

Had a Yaesu Mark-V Field in for a repair that I caused when I had the cover of the rig off....need some delicate wires traced and resoldered. While the radio was "in for service" they reportedly dropped the radio (by mistake of course). They immediately contacted me, reported the same and virtually offered me anything I wanted to (using their words) "make it right." They repaired some minor damage, and to be honest, I don't think I would have ever known of the mishap had they not mentioned it. Very up front of them in my book!

Better known for Amateur Radio Sales, they keep many rigs on consignment for the locals, but Carl- is the chief tech and works on Amateur gear old and new. I had my ICOM 756proII give up transmit. I suspected the famous IC151 gave up and I was right. Carl told me he had them in stock and I dropped off the rig as he has a spectrum analyzer and I wanted alignment checked. Carl was speedy and reasonable. It would of cost me more to ship and insure the rig to ICOM USA. I didn't want some shipper to loose/damage it. Other locals have recommended them to me. It's rare that I require service, but these guys are great. Hams come for 50-100 miles around. I have been dealing with them for over 5 years and they will continue to get my trade. They support all the local clubs too.
