Had not been to his site in a bit so I thought I would take a look.. Not sure if anyone else has posted this but he needs all our prayers and hope.

hopefully he gets better, he answered a few questions for me a little while ago. great guy.

he'll be spinning the black circle again in no time.

get well soon.

Thanks for bringing Joel to our thoughts.

A quality guy who has always been there at a drop of the hat eager to help.

Our prayers are with Joel and his family.

A great and helpful guy. An inspiration to keep going in the face of adversity. My prayers and best wishes to Joel.

Have gotten some good advice from Joel a couple of times. He actually talked me out of buying one of his tt-s because he didn't want me to be disappointed. Very unusual these days!!!!!!!
It's a shame cause now I have a Dual I would like to send to him.

Joel is good people.

Very sorry to hear the news - Joel is a dedicated enthusiast who has probably done more for the vintage turntable movement than anyone else.

Get well soon!

A quick exchange of e-mails a few years ago with Joel convinced me to try and fix my Dual myself. Wonderfully encouraging man, doing what he loves, we should all be so blessed. With all our thoughts and prayers he will be fine.

my prayers go out to joel and his family.

Joel is a great guy, helped me out on more than one occasion. I think the problem is he needs someone at his shop to help him do his work, I don't think his condition has gotten too much worse, but I wish him all the best nonetheless... I think his help took off on him causing him to refuse work for now if I read that right. He may have trouble lifting and packing orders.

If I lived closer to him I would quit my cruddy job @ the golf course and try to learn the art of turntable restoration and repair..

You rule JOEL!!! :thmbsp:
