Anyone in RDU/Triangle area of North Carolina? Need V2 help

Hello!

TL;DR: I moved across the country and a Romax V2 needs calibration/repair assistance in NC.
I'm actually quite an expert when it comes to Romax V2s. I've built more than six of them now, but the problem of the year is that one of the machines I built and installed for a school in North Carolina just isn't running as well as it used to. It's having a lot of bed leveling issues and print quality issues. I would love to fix this machine... but...
I live in Northern California. So I'm 2500 miles away from my creation. It's a stock machine with 4 position quick disconnects and some nice beefy Molex connectors as needed. Otherwise pretty much all standard hardware. A dedicated Macbook runs it>
The people who operate the machine are super nice and could even pay you for your time, but they are chiefly librarians and aren't very tech savvy. You would need to supply tools or ask me to mail you things as needed. If needed.
The school is incredibly safe, full of genius kids, and well-funded. It is a VERY nice place to be, with extremely futuristic facilities and modern everything. It would be a fun way to meet good people and spend time fixing a printer for them. You could even Facetime me while working on it.

Even if nobody is available to actually fix the machine (I know it's a big ask), perhaps someone in this general area would be willing to let me borrow their toolbox and 3D printer spare parts for a day or two so that I could go fix the printer when I visit for the holidays in December. I would compensate for all consumables and your time.
Things I'd like: soldering equipment, multiple wrenches, pliers, torx drivers, philips screwdrivers, clips, cleaner tools, and poking/scraping instruments, wires, wire cutters, wire strippers, wire crimpers, quick disconnects and crimp pins, molex terminals/pins, kapton tape... and anything else that might be helpful.
If you'd be able to help in either regard, please let me know and we'll move forward from there! Thanks so much.
