Either it does or it doesn't. I think it's kind of arbitrary that he tells you that, unless he already knows something about your particular amp. Have you checked with the manufacturer first? You could easily touch up most or all of the solder joints without worrying about it, if you know how to solder well. First thing though, would be to do a thorough visual inspection. But I'd rather go about diagnosing the problem in a more standard fashion. With a schematic/service manual. Get that first if you plan on fixing it yourself. Then you can measure at the voltage points and/or trace the signal path. If you know what the regulated voltage is supposed to be and where to find it, then you are off to a good start.
Seems like a rip off if he only has to redo a solder joint or two and then charges you $200. But you never know what this guy may be up to. Try and find some guy who works out of his garage instead, maybe an older retired guy. You'll still get the same level of service and save yourself a few bucks.
