The Little Fwend Automatic Tonearm Lifter is a must - have for manual turntable enthusiasts. It automatically raises the tonearm at the end of a record, preventing the annoying sound of needle scraping and potential damage. Made of premium materials, it offers high - quality construction and smooth, silent operation. This device not only extends the stylus life but also ensures the sound quality remains unaffected. It's incredibly easy to install, with an adjustable height that can fit a variety of turntables with tonearm clearance up to 49mm and cartridges set up to 5 grams VTF. It only interacts with the tonearm at the record's end. The Little Fwend sits between the tonearm and platter. When the tonearm hits the high - carbon steel Roslau piano wire, the neoprene rubber beam smoothly lifts it up. Compatibility requires a pivot - type tonearm, a tonearm height between 32mm - 49mm during play, and a width of at least 28mm between the platter edge and arm base. It's not compatible with certain DJ turntables like Audio - Technica AT - LP120 series and Pioneer PLX series. For Technics 1200/1210, use the Disco Model. Comes with 2 adhesive - backed magnetic mounting platform discs, an Eklind 1.5mm Allen key, and a 3M non - adhesive mounting pad. Also available are the Disco Model MKII for Technics 1200 and the High Model.
Using the Little Fwend Automatic Tonearm Lifter is a breeze. First, check your turntable's compatibility. Make sure it has a pivot - type tonearm, the height between the turntable surface and the tonearm when playing is between 32mm - 49mm, and the width between the outer edge of the turntable platter and the arm base is at least 28mm. If your turntable is a Technics 1200/1210, use the Disco Model. To install, use the included adhesive - backed magnetic mounting platform discs or the 3M non - adhesive mounting pad to place the Little Fwend between the tonearm and platter. Then, use the Eklind 1.5mm Allen key to adjust the height until it fits properly. Once installed, it will automatically lift the tonearm at the end of the record. Remember, this device only works with pivot - type tonearms and is not compatible with some DJ turntables. To maintain it, keep it clean from dust and debris. If you notice any issues with the operation, check the height adjustment and the connection of the parts.
