Hi vinyl lovers,
I recently got back into vinyl. I bought an U turn Orbit Plus. Very nice sound for the money. (small budget). I'm looking for a end of record tone arm lifter that will fit this TT with the cue lever option. The Q UP lifter doesn't fit. Not much room between platter and the base of the tone arm assembly. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

For cue lever only the Supex AL-2 is unbeatable. Long out of production but they can be found on the auction site. There are cheaper devices out there the Supex is the one to get IMO.
For end of record auto-lifter the Audio-Technica AT6006R might fit and is a solid performer. Only downside is that these devices seem to have gone up in price drastically as vinyl has had a huge surge in popularity.
 
The Audio-Technica Safety Raiser should fit. They often show up on eBay but can be expensive. There are also similar ones under other brands or even knockoffs. I use one on my Kenwood.
 
Hey BamaBilly,
Thanks for posting the Douk-Audio info. It still might be too big at the base to fit the U Turn TT.
I'll have to check his return policy.
 
Hey RobRoy,
Thanks for the info. You're right $130 is crazy. (on my budget anyway). Don't think the $60 one will fit because of my cue lever assembly. U Turn didn't leave much room between the arm/cue lift and the platter.
 
You guys are posting ebay links to the same one I mentioned as having on my Kenwood.

It has as small a footprint as the Audio Technica, and though larger than the Stylift it takes up no more room in a sense because it rises straight up, not with the teeter totter action of the Stylift or Expressimo.
 
And looking at images online of the U Turn with their cue lever I see the problem. You might just be able to squeeze the Douk in on top of or immediately right of the screw mounting the tonearm. I can't see any others working for you, except for the one in Bama's first link.
 
Thanks Montycat,
I think I'm going to have to eat the return charges and buy these and try to see if I can make them fit.
 
MusicDirect has a few $100 and less options and they do free returns. Just go there and search “lifter”
 
Just get out of your chair at albums end man.

I have the same table, it's great I think.

But yeah, ya gotta get up.

Exercise, lol.
