Interesting rwwear, I bought a Thorens Q-Up when they were introduced. I could never get mine adjusted properly for tension so it either failed to
lift the arm or would roughly fling it upwards. I no longer remember which arm I was using at the time.
Overall, my first stereo system included a Dual 1009, though I didn't use the stacking feature, only the auto start and stop. My second table was an AR-XA and every one I've owned over the decades since had been manual. It's no big deal when you're used to it. ;^)
