Tru-Lift tonearm lifter for Technics

Someone recently asked if the Tru-Lift Tonearm Lifter is available for the Technics SL-1200g.  The answer is yes and will be available the week of Feb 25.  The manufacturer is www.integrityhifi.ca in Canada.  Their products are only available thru authorized dealers who are listed on their website.  They may send you a picture of the Tru-lift on the Technics if you ask.  

I purchased one from Element Electronics in Vancouver, BC today and am just answering the question asked by another Audiogon member.   
For you information.

Doug,

I reached out to Carlo a few months ago and received an email yesterday regarding the TT lift.  It included a movie showing it on a the 1200G. 

I have a KAB damper on my stock arm. With it, I don't see enough clearance to place the TT lift.

What model # did you purchase?  

Regards,

Johnnie

Johnnie,
I have a Jelco arm on my Technics so the Tru-Lift will work.  Carlo would be the one to advise you on your arm with the KAB damper.

I have a few black KAB fluid dampers that i don't use anymore, i think they are only collect dust, because the a silicon fluid bath is open all the time, in a few years of regular use it's a disaster (full of dust). I think it took me 7 years to deny this solution, i just removed them last year.

How often do you guys change silicone fluid completely ? 

This is one of the reson i don't like tonearms with open fluid damper.
