Good Semi-Automatic Turntable

I'm helping out a friend who is interested in adding vinyl to his system, but wants the tonearm to pickup after play. Are there any good TT's with this feature that would cost between $200 and $600 used (including tonearm)? Maybe a Thorens? Thanks for any advise.

You can probably find a decent Dual for under $100.

Look for an AR-XA and install a Lifter. Trouble free ,built like a tank, heavy platter, great arm, quiet, reliable and can be modified easily- A NO BRAINER. Under $100. When and if you wear it out, toss it and get another one. There really aren't any semis I would recommend.

I recently picked up a Thorens TD320 on ebay for $199 + shipping. Its sound is extraordinary and it has auto-lift and shut-off.
