Does Sylvain Vanier still rebuild phono cartridges?

His website seems to have vanished and his email no longer works. I have a cartridge in need of his help.

When Syl shut his website down several years ago, he kindly donated many of his "how-to" instructions to the Phorum - including instructions on how to rebuild your own cartridges. You will find these as stickies in the Philco Electronic Restoration section of the Phorum.

He has other interests now, and I seriously doubt he has time to rebuild any cartridges these days. If he were still doing this, he would advertise as such.
