I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm

I love spinning records, but I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my  TT arm until I return to my easy chair about 8 feet away from the turntable.  I always miss the  the full effect first couple of bars of my favorite music. Do any of you see this as an issue?  Can any of you suggest an answer?  Maybe one of those remote control small motors that you can get at a hobby shop coupled with a rig that would lower the lever on the VPI Classic or similar TT?  Thanks.

Like tooblue, I can move the lever slightly forward to really slow the decent, but I don't do that. It looks like I've picked up a habit from back in the day, where I wait for the arm to drop and then turn up the volume. This makes me scurry back to my chair to catch the start of track. I do the opposite when record ends. Am I alone in this practice (LOL)?

chakster - I too have a GST 801 packed away that needs lifter fluid, so also looking for a source for that.
