Jelco tonearms closes

The 850L is a substantial upgrade over the 750L. Grab a mk2 when you can. That said, the Groovemaster ll, Thomas Schick, Audiomods, Wand etc. all compete in the sub $2k ballpark. 

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.

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.
