looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar


Hey everyone, I was hoping someone might have one of these for sale or know a friend of a friend that does. Looking to buy it dad for fathers day. Thanks

Depending on how badly you want an original Safety Raiser: ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUDIO-TECHNICA-AT6006-SAFETY-RAISER-ARM-LIFTER-RARE-N-O-S-/110894508938?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item19d1d3eb8a )
I'm starting to second guess the AT raiser now, I'd hate to see it fail and damage my fathers shelter. I think that I'll try out that q'up on needle doctors website and I'll let you guys know how it works out. Again thanks for all the help.
I'm going to try the Q'UP too, since my AT is starting to fail at times. Much better price and a more recent product. It's hard to tell how old AT's really are or how long a new one has sat in the box. The Q'UP's don't look as delicate either. Good luck.
My first Safety Raiser lasted 30yrs. When they wear out; they simply don't lift, or lift quickly(what mine did). Neither will damage an arm or cartridge. I suppose, if I manage to outlive the two I own now; I'll try the Q'UP. Having to use a piece of tape to lock it in place(per the instructions), seems a bit chessy though.
