My poor R-13 is on it's last notes....

How much does Mr. Alphin charge for a pinned crack? Plus the poor thing
needs repadded and I am sure the toneholes need goneover. If you would give
me a way to contact Mr. Alphin, I would like to set up a repair with him.
Plus, does he take mail order repairs?

Thanks.
