Can anyone recommend a good Ric tech?

I'm looking for a professional, good, qualified, experienced Rickenbacker technician in the metro Atlanta area. I'd like to be able to have my Rics serviced in person if possible, rather than ship them out. This way, I can try it out and make any additional adjustments. I'm not comfortable tech'ing my Rics, as I'll probably break them if I attempted it!
Any pointers appreciated, thanks.
peace.

Peter Jones is my guy. I can't praise his work enough. I've had him rescue my 3001 which had become unplayable, resurrect my 4001 which had led a rough life (he even had Lindy Fralin rewind the bridge pickup!), & he installed a Hipshot bridge on my 4003. I also have 5 other basses & one acoustic guitar. He's worked on them all & I trust him implicitly. He's done work for tons of people...Jeff Carlisi from .38 Special & Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top are the first that come to mind.
He's a character - but in a good way!
He lives in Conyers...about a 15-20 minute drive out I-20 east.
He & I are real tight. PM me & I'll get you his contact info.
