Jelco tonearms closes

It's going to be interesting to see what Luxman will go to as their TT's use Jelco Tonearms. What other companies use the Jelco arms??

Luckily I bought a NOS discontinued Jelco 250 L 12 inch tonearm with the 2 different counterweights to use it with mono cartridges and low compliance ones for around 500 dlls.  I wonder if the remaining stock of Jelcos will go up in price with this unfortunate event.

What other companies use the Jelco arms??

Ortofon, of course, but I think the reach is deep, and into places we wouldn’t necessary think. A dealer friend was told this week by a highly-placed industry pro that Graham, e.g., has parts made by Jelco.

Practically none available. The few that are available overseas are twice their original price.

 

As any discontinued products they will stay on the used market for decades
