Arm lift options beside Stylift

Does anyone know of any arm lift devices besides the Stylift? I know Thorens and Audio Technica used to make spring powered arm lifts. I've got the Stylift, but find it annoying the way it wacks the arm, and finicky about placement to the point of being not usefull for may albums.
Any ideas about what might be out there?
Thanks

I haven't tried the product but I built something similar, though not as elegant, myself.

Something like that yes. I haven't examined it closely.
My little contraption is not in use now, but I made a video clip:

As you see, the motion is more twitchy. I taped a tiny piece of metal on the arm and mounted a little magnet above the area of the run-out groove.
