Arm lift options beside Stylift


Does anyone know of any arm lift devices besides the Stylift? I know Thorens and Audio Technica used to make spring powered arm lifts. I've got the Stylift, but find it annoying the way it wacks the arm, and finicky about placement to the point of being not usefull for may albums.
Any ideas about what might be out there?
Thanks

I am glad that I stumble on this thread linked from Audiogon forum. I ordered this tonearm lift by contacting a friend of Mario in NYC.
After receiving payment address I sent personal check and in 3 days received my Tonal arm lift.
I have to tell you folks that I did not expect this "home-made" product to look that refined. And I am a picky customer.
It came very nicely packaged in a plastic box with soft insulation and full 2-page instruction and diagram with trouble-shooting guide!

Fit and finish of this little device is on commercial level. I would not be surprised to see it in Audiophile store or online retailer.

It took me an hour to fine tune it and now it works 100% of the time, simply perfectly.

I had to cut the main stem to shorten it. No big deal. The adjustable screws on top are ingenious touch ! They are the key in making this gizmo work.

In conclusion , i will say if you need Safety Rasier -Tonearm Lift Get this thing as fast as you can. It is superb.

P.S. One consideration! Tonal stands taller than your tonearm in order for it to function, thus you need to make sure that your DUST COVER has enough clearance, otherwise you would need to raise it on some rubber bushings ,like I did (Rega P3).
