<br>
I spoke with JL Cooper HQ! Today about some JL Cooper products and <br>
Asked to speak with Jim Cooper.<br>
<br>
It seems Jim passed away on January 3rd, 2026.<br>
<br>
Jim hired me to work at Oberheim in Santa Monica and we have been friends for close to 50 years.<br>
<br>
The business is being liquidated by end of March and might be a good time to see what is up for sale.<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is the wrong group to address this kind of info, but Jim was a great guys to us DIY folks.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
