John,
I haven't used a repair service (yet). But I did find contact info of
such for you, see the link below. Exline has some good reviews (in
addition to Billy's below). Also well regarded for TT repair (by
internet folk) is Radiosmith Steve Yuddel in Clearwater, Florida who has
gotten some good recommendations (he is listed as "multi-brand radio
repairs" but folks with TT gear have done well with him).

Hi John,
I was VERY pleased with all the work that Jim @ Exline
Signal has done for me on multiple occasions, so have
no problem recommending him as a solution on this topic.
Hope this helps, and Seasons Greetings,
73 Billy, AA4NU

My "bevloved" TEN TEC Omni VI model 563 needs diagnosis and repair. . I say "beloved" because of all the radios I have owned and operated over my 66 years as a ham operator, the Ten Tec Omni VI is the best including Collins KWM 380, KWM 2 and others. I purchased a bandpass board removed from a working Ten Tec Omni VI and installed it in my Omni VI.
My Omni VI fires up normally; with RF gain open it receives much noise, birdies and
other junk. It receives a very strong carrier on 10 mhz WWV.
No amateur signals on any bands. Just phase noise and birdies are received.
At age 86 years of age, I am not able to pinpoint where all Amateur bands
signals are being interrupted.
All knob functions and SWITCHES potentiometers, and the clock works well. LOTS of Volume
(noise) received on all band positions. VFO works great according to the digital read
out. All push button switches work as well as transmit/receive. No RF output in
transmit. I need the services of a great OMNI VI technician. Please assist me
to get my OMNI VI working. There are NO Ten TEC technicians here in Louisiana. I need to
hear from you.
Thanks and 73.
