I have a second-hand zen plate that I would like to improve both its looks and sound.  I'm a newbie with no technical skill nor understanding of all the details of part replacement etc. so I won't be doing any of this myself.  It requires replacement of the top aluminum plate & drilling of the top and a new aluminum body..and some improvement of the gain/balance if possible.  When Eddie V. was still available I asked him about some work but the guy is off on new & better projects and was not the guy to mess with my small project.  I know of a few repair people in my area but none have any experience with decware and I wouldn't trust their ability to do the work that I need.  Is there any custom tweaking available out there??  I'm also not far from Peoria and wondered if anybody local or in the Northern-central Illinois area might be able to do some custom work.  I don't think Steve at Decware does this sort of thing but maybe he knows of some resources...ideas???..I'm not in a big hurry for this and it's not an emergency but I would like to be able to modify/improve my zen plate.
