Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff?

lewm, asleep or awake, how can one avert damage to speakers by a blown output tube?

Years ago I damaged two woofers in my Duntechs when a phono stage I was auditioning for a manufacturer sent DC through them.  I was awake but don't know how I could have prevented it?

Otherwise regarding changer complexities, just go to the Dual heading at Vinyl Engine and look at repair procedures for any of the older models.  A friend offered his 1229 he no longer used but a review of the restoration quickly eliminated that kind offer.

At my age, I need all of the exercise that I can get, so a manual table fits perfectly.

@viridian that poison will kill you!!    And the meth ain’t great for you either…..

True that there is no damage playing the run out in the short term, but if you are the sort of listener who frequently dozes off…………………those 400 hours left will rapidly disappear. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ
