Jim's taking a break from pinball for the time being, and has returned to his love of restoring cars. I think he'll be back in pinball, but I would be surprised if he ever did restorations for people again, and even more surprised if I ever saw him on Pinside again.
He's an awesome guy and an incredible resource in this community...and a big loss for Pinside, IMO. (And yes, I know he poked more than a few of you, but I thought it was pretty funny - he kicked my ass many times.)
