Seeking detached tonearm lifter
Greetings everyone:
I recently installed a handmade 12" unipivot arm and it has no tonearm lifter/cueing device.
While it’s not absolutely necessary, I’d prefer to install one. Aside from the Douk, are there any other recommended devices that have a cueing capability and aren’t just a trigger for the end of the record?
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance you can provide.

Here you go. I have one on a 12" WT clone and it's smooth and accurate. Better than the ones on my Jelco 850s. https://www.ebay.com/i/112656194867?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&am... |
@flatblackrounddirect replacement from the OL factory might be a better fit for not much more cost. https://www.originlive.com/shop/lift-lower-device.html |
@duducat You'll have to find a way to mount it in your situation. There are other types to choose from. Like this. https://www.ebay.com/i/383766350966?rt=nc&_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3... |
@drrsutliff Yes you would think so. I did just that. They had difficulty identifying which arm I have (with detailed photos) and the $100 device they sent me slides around loosely in the hole in the tonearm plate and I can’t figure out how to set the position and height permanently. Also I it doesn’t perform smoothly. Frustrating. |
