Jerry Raskin's Needle Doctor Gone?


I noticed that the website has been down for at least the last 2 weeks, but I know it was up before Christmas as I was shopping for cartridges. I've purchased quite a few things there, they've always been very helpful and informative. Just in case it was a dumb intern not paying attention I tried the 1-800 number, but the mailbox is full. Not a good sign!
Has anybody heard anything? Maybe I'm getting old, but this was one of the few online sources 15-20 years ago besides the behemoths. I'd be sad if they folded. We need more, not less sources out there!

Trust he has a long life to live and enjoy his new venture as he gave so much to Vinyl enthusiasts. 


If you have a business-head for on-line selling maybe it would be a good fit for another a-goner to see about buying.
