Automatic Tonearm Lifter Help

My wife forced me to get rid of my old semi-automatic TT (an older Techniques - I'm still pissed at her over this onešŸ¤¬). I recently replaced it with anĀ  AT-LP1240-USBXP manual TT. I'm spoiled with the automatic tonearm return and would like to find some aftermarket product that will perform this function. However, there is absolutely NO space between the platter and the tonearm base. All of the products I've seen require at least 14 mm, which I don't have. Is there ANY lifter out there that might work?

direct drive preferred?

If you consider vintage direct drive, you need to do your research

looks: some fake wood, some real wood veneer, some metal, lot plastic, very few solid wood, some custom,Ā 

i.e. fully automatic, semi-auto-matic; optional full manual, manual

this is a large plinth dual arm setup, and you could do what I did, add the audio technica lifter for the main/long arm, then have a second arm in the back, for mono cartridge ....
