'Replacing all the tubes' may mean, pocketing all the valuable Telefunken and Sylvania OEM tubes and putting in "new" but possibly inferior tubes, at great expense to you and profit to them.I restored my Fisher 800C myself, but I had 'some' experience. I got the booklet from Fisher Doc (not sure he's still in business). He recommends NOT replacing original PS capacitors unless it's necessary. Mine worked perfectly. We put the amplifier on a scope and the signal was about perfect, so I even left in the German-made coupling caps so as not to alter (screw up) the sound. YMMV.
I'm not saying techs are unscrupulous, but as you surmised, that may not be the place to go. You shouldn't have to ship.

- sold my 800C (shown), and the new owner loves it, works great almost 2 years after.
