I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm


I love spinning records, but I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my  TT arm until I return to my easy chair about 8 feet away from the turntable.  I always miss the  the full effect first couple of bars of my favorite music. Do any of you see this as an issue?  Can any of you suggest an answer?  Maybe one of those remote control small motors that you can get at a hobby shop coupled with a rig that would lower the lever on the VPI Classic or similar TT?  Thanks.

*G* That Decca widget sounds great, but obviously was a real 'niche market' thing.  I'd be surprised if any survived...

What would be a potential object that could perform this action?  Not everyone is able to have the TT 'at hand', but it could be interesting if it could raise as well as lower the arm in a remote fashion.

Just a wild thought...;l)
