an armlift solution.
This is what has stopped me from pursuing this as a commercial design. I could buy complete tonearm mounts with an arm lift, but they are a little on the expensive side and would take away from what the arm is. If I could get something made, then maybe not.
I know I could use something as simple as a piece of brass rod bent into a suitable shape. I do like the idea of a good, "proper" lift though.

I like the design. It is clever and simple. I think I'll steal it

Hey Ralf,
Please show me the results when finished.
Succes

Turning te bottom lever delivers a lift of 2,5mm (photo 2).
I hope this will be enough...

Around 2 mm of lift at the lifter translates to a lot of lift at the headshell.
Yours' is a very interesting design. Would you mind sharing the plan? Also, do you use some sort of damping mechanism to slow down the drop?
Plan and damping armlift
Morning JLS,
I'll try to make a drawing of the construction and post it as soon as possible (and request the copyrights ;-) ).
There's is no damping whatsoever. I guess some grease will do the trick, but i have to test that. Gentle movements of the lever defenately works ;-).

nothing new but in the easy way, without any lathe.
May be build with some pieces of plexi (or lexan), 1.5 mm piano wire, a scrapbook screw, and one of 2.5 or 3 mm. The hardest thing is to make the 1.5 mm hole into the scrapbook screw. The 2.5 screw is there to adjust the friction.
Hope this helps - Carlo
