Vintage Shortwave Repair

Moderator, I am hoping this question is allowable in this forum as I did not see one more appropriate:
I am trying to locate a repair tech to repair my vintage National NC-173 radio. It powers up but doesn't seem to receive signals. I'm assuming it needs some cap replaced and possibly a realignment as it has been sitting idle for 15 years.
I am in central Wisconsin. The only tech that quickly checked it out said it would run $600+ to replace the caps and realign. That seems a bit outrageous to me but perhaps it's normal to be that high? I do have the schematic for the radio.
Does anyone know any Wisconsin techs that may be able to tackle this?
Thank you.
