Multi Arm Table

I have a Basis Debut but it can only accomodate 1 arm. I change wands on my Graham Phantom for mono play but the loading is also differant so I have to change the phono Preamp input. I want this to be easier so.
I want to set the new table up for my mono cartridge and a cartridge/arm combination to play 45's. I do not want to spend the money I paid for my Basis setup.
I am thinking Clearaudio Innovation Wood Compact and would like some other suggetions.
Thanks
BTW I will be keeping the Basis.

Your first (aka cheapest) option is to looks at the 'arm pod' thread. I had the same problem with my Kuzma Stabi Reference and solved the problem by ordering an arm pod/ tonearm combo by the Red (www.red.lt). But you may prefer
some of the ideas from the mentioned thread and build your
own or order one by a manufacturer. The best option among
arm pods is the 'universal kind' with replaceable above plate such that you can use different tonearms. However because of the distance to the spindle you will probable
need 12'' tonearms.

Hevac 1, If your Basis has a 'very large foor print' than
you can use 9'' or 10'' tonearms with the so called 'flat
base' like the Triplanar , the Red, etc. To avoid drilling
3 holes for those you can glue them to your Basis. Assuming
of course that you have > 211mm distance from the spindle
on the left back side .
