What are tonearm makers using for cuing arms now that Jelco has closed?

[BillK]

Since many tonearm makers seem to use the same Jelco cuing arm (for example, VPI and Graham certainly seem to), any idea what they are going to do now that Jelco has closed?

Do they all just have a more or less lifetime supply in stock, or are there other vendors?

Thanks - it looks like it’s pretty clearly a Jelco copy.
