What happened to him and his tonearms? He has not posted in any Hi Fi forums.

Haven't heard anything from him for many years. He stopped making them a long time ago, as other commitments took priority such as work (pilot), family and his other hobby, guns.
Also, I think it was harder for him to source cocobolo.

Citroen covers it above pretty much I think, logic6.
I last spoke to James maybe a year ago(?), he had moved to flying long-haul, so with growing family, etc. not a lot of time now. His last update to us here was almost 3 yrs ago - darklantern.proboards.com/thread/84/analog-instruments DarkLantern blog - darklanternforowen.wordpress.com

I can understand why James gave up his tonearm biz,however I hope he does not give up his love of hi fi. He contributed so much to the world of audio. I would love to see him post again.

Yeah, James got interested in some gun shenanigans, and I think burnt out on the whole tonearm thing. That coupled with the actual day job just took its toll. I reckon if he had limited the arms to one a month it might have worked better but oh well...
