Good Semi-automatic Turntables ?

Pardon my ignorance, but are there any good quality semiautomatic turntables available new these days?
I am in the market for a new turntable in the <$1200 range, but would rather have the motor shut off, (and ideally have the arm lift) after the record is finished. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Rick.

Just buy a tonearm lifter for $100 and buy whatever table you want.

At OP, Doesn’t Soundsmith make a cartridge for your B&O?  That TT is beautifully designed and probably works better than new $1500 TTs.

A Technics SL10. Install an Ortofon OMP40 on it and you’ll be happy for a long time.

If you like contact Bobs device. Last time we talked he was using semi automatic table and sayed it sounded great can't remember the brand or model. He mentioned if you have a great cartridge semi automatic tables are so user friendly and a joy to use. He and his wife love it. Put an album on forget about it doesn't matter.
