Tone Arm Lifter

Hi , They are great. very simple mechanisms. Easy to install, look quality in stainless steel. since they are a bit expensive and don't degrade with time, I would look for used one!  here is a link

I’ve been  using a Littlefwend with my SL1200-G for about 5 years.  Works great!

Another vote for Littlefwend. I am using them with my Technics and Garrard TT’s. 

Wasn't there something called Cue Up? My memory may be faulty here.

Cue up works for me! Nothing sexy about it but it gets the job done. One caviat though. Tonearm height is tight for some tables. I have a mmf 7.3 and the stock setup requires me to strip the pad off of the lifter so it is a little noisy when activates. Placement is critical and double sided tape was necessary but for fifty bucks it got the job done. Cheap insurance for the times I don’t beat the runout groove.
