Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift

I used the “Little Fwend” on my VPI Prime for over 6 months. I could never get it to work consistently. The tone arm would either bounce back to the middle of the record after hitting the trip wire or nothing would happen when the tonearm hit trip wire. It looks wonderful.  But, I could never get it to work. 

@kenrus From what you’re describing it sounds like you should double check your antiskate, leveling of your table or both. 

Yeah, that’s kind of weird. Just the slightest touch and the lift lifts. Mines never malfunctioned even once. You should contact Little Fwend’s site and see what’s up with that. I’d be curious to hear what they’d have to say.

@ skyscraper The content I have been supplying has also been for an individual who might revisit this type of information in the future.

It will offer a description of things to consider when choosing a Ancillary Tonearm Lift and is not really meant to be a Brand Promotion.

I knew a from my observation that a round base was not compatible with my go to TT's Chassis / Tonearm Interface, so chose the model that could be used without impeding the positioning, most importantly a little catnap is not so concerning with this type of device in use. 

No problem. and I don’t mean to be hawking the Little Fwend. I’m an end user and just happy with mine even though it was kind of pricey. Don’t mean to get this thread off track either.
