    You mean you've not learned that cats dont listen to anyone and only do what they want to do

    You never know, she might have a hidden talent lol.

    That is however an interesting piece of kit, I don't walk too well so something like that could be very useful when I can't get to the tt straight away.

    Mechanism looks very similar to an Audio Technica lifter from the 80s. Around £6.95 I recall.

    Yes, same idea. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of the ATs - they also came in two height sizes.

    If this is the Audio Techinca http://www.vinylengine.com/library/a...y-raiser.shtml

    then here it is in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gs9jjag2ls

    There's one on da 'Bay at £139 from Japan which is a lot more than £6.95

    The Q Up is another alternative and cheaper https://www.amazon.com/Q-UP-The-Up-T.../dp/B008OAMD26

    Wow! Yes, that's the one. I think I preferred it at £6.95
