I asked Bruce Tsubamoto 938-8878 and he says he does work on them. He says there are only a few brands that have parts available locally. I told him I would post a response to you. He has done several plumbing jobs for me with good results.

thanks Allen, I will give him a call. It's something blocking the water flow inside the heater,...I think? Hot water pressure dropped three days ago. Now heater really sounds like it's laboring to heat water?

There is a filter screen in the cold watre connection to the tank. Sometimes it can get clogged... easy fix. Depending on your water, scale some times builds up as well. Also ( and I'm sure you have checked this already) there is a control in front that can adjust water volume flow through the tank.

This same thing happened on my washer - tiny little screen was clogged. Took 2 days for plumber to come out, and took about 2 mins to fix (i.e take off and clean). Now we do it regularly ourselves.
