Good Semi-Automatic Turntable

An older Harmon Kardon T-60 would be a good choice.

But there are several auto-lifting mechanisms available that can be added to almost any manual turntable for about $40 brand new. The Expressimo Audio "Lifter" is one of them.
It is user installed in about a minute or two, with a self-stick feature, that adheres to the plinth. That opens up the TT selection to just about anything in his price range.

Tom, just curious, would the "Lifter" work on the configuration of a Teres (for my own use)?

Yep. No problem. Goes right on.

Dual made some good TT like that. Maybe a CS 505 would do the trick for you.
