Quality fully automatic turntable with a removable headshell. Does this exist?

Unless I ban my kids from touching the stereo, which I don't want to do, I think I need an automatic TT.  Is there a hifi grade TT out there that is fully automatic AND has a tone arm with an interchangeable headshell?  I want to be able to switch easily between a mono and a stereo cartridge.

Technics 1500C turntable.  Auto lift at the end of record, priced under 1500 bucks. Brand new model gotten good reviews.

No unless you customize one. That’s like asking for a Model A with a paddle shifter.


That 1500C is as close as your going to get to auto with a detachable headshell. Teach them to use the cue lift or stay away.

A 330 Trio KP 800 might be one that is off interest.

I recently looked at one with a SME Bayonet Attachment Headshell on the Tonearm.
