Jelco are closing their tonearm business

I'm also please I did not buy a arm knowing it was built with " our obsolete mechanical equipment, "

Totally unfair comment,. Just because the machines are obsolete doesn't mean they don't work well it just means it gets ever harder and more expensive to repair them when they do have issues.

I won't get into a debate about machining accuracy as its not what this post is about

You mean you won't continue what you started?

You mean you won't continue what you started?

And you want to carry it on ?

Easy fellas, i can see both sides of the coin, think about it we are talking about vinyl playback by it's very nature "obsolete mechanical equipment" but we know it's better than CD and streaming which is current technology.

agree completely with previous post...and is really sad that Jelco has to close their doors...hope they will find a way to come back...

sad news re Jelco.
I am happy that I got my 9 inch 850 from Hugo a few months ago.
I guess i just missed the short lived mk 2 version of that arm but I am very happy with the performance of what I have.
