Arm lift options beside Stylift

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.

Ronnie,

Looks to me like it works well.
Cool posting of the video too.
Thanx,

Thorens is my choice. I thought the money I spent on one long a ago a high priced rip off, but the value has lasted through the years.

Adjustable lift power and height, I wish they woudl build them again. Many people do not know what these things are or have never even considered an end of record lift since they were dissed by Hi Fi writers long ago wanting to go snob superior to consumer inferior positions in their writings.

This was back when the industry was new and writers had much more influence, we were all looking for answers. It was thought they detracted from the sound. At my level of sound reproduction it adds to the enjoyment, and takes away nothing.

I built Safety Raiser myself. It took me a few tries, but it came out fine.
The only consideration when starting with a project is: The height of your tonearm! This is crucial as Safety Raiser should be able to pass under your tonearm in order to lift it at the end of the record.
The way you make your own Safety Raiser is:
1. Find cueing assembly from any manual TT.
2. Remove cueing assembly from the plastic/metal housing of TT.
you will end up with cylinder, piston with black plastic "tonearm rest", cueing lever and inner metal spring.
All you have to do is:
Remove the little screw on top of "plastic tonearm rest", pull the piston out, put the spring on the piston and insert piston back into the cylinder.
Now you have a tonearm cueing assembly that does exactly opposite of what it used to do: It is now when depressed, starts to rise slowly out of the cylinder.
That was easy.
Now you have to figure out the metal wire trigger and the appropriate height of the whole Safety Raiser.
