Reply to Turntable Repair/Modification Companies?

So I just scored a pair of Technics SL-1200 MK2's for a killer deal. They both "work" but one of them doesn't seem to have the anti-skating working properly, and the record continuously skips no matter what I do.

Well within my budget for getting tables, and I want to get them checked out by someone in the know to get them tuned up and get everything working correctly.

I can't solder, and while I understand electronics, I don't feel comfortable pulling things apart myself. It is what it is, and I'm okay with this fact. I'm much more of a software guy than a hardware guy, and always have been.

I talked to a couple of friends who have tables, but they don't know the first thing about actual maintenance or modification, or even basic care to be honest. They know how to use them and clean them. So they weren't any help when trying to talk to them.

Then I got to believeing. If I'm going to bring the tables down to an audio shop, why not look into getting LED lights put in, elimination of the ground wire, "click" removal, and new RCA's while I'm at it.

I was looking at:

I don't mind getting them sent out, and investing some cash into them. It's something I plan on having for a long time / as a potential future investment. I am located in Massachusetts, USA and it doesn't look like anyone local does this kind of thing.

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? Any recommendations?

Note: I understand that doing this myself would be cheaper in the long-run. I don't feel comfortable doing it, and I'd still like to have this stuff done. (and yes I x-posted this, but looking for as much info as I can)
