Tascam 388: what to have repair place do?

[MagnumPI]

Hi guys,
Im settiing up a Tascam 388 in Europe so when I get there I can record. I had a friend get a machine and he seems to think it's in decent shape. Heads look good etc. He took it to a repair shop to get a little glitch on track 4 repaired but I was thinking while its in the shop to have them to a "full service" to get that thing ready for recording.
I asked them to Calibrate it to Quantegy 407 and was wondering what else I should have them do?
Any good tips?
Thanks All,
M.

Capstan belt change over, if necessary.

And about the calibration, I would want to ensure the shop is experienced and familiar with the 388 before I'd OK that work as its a two head machine with integrated dbx, so its not your standard calibration job.

Cheers!
