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.

Best Regards,
Doug Olsen

I purchased mine about 3 months ago. I hadn’t thought about dust.

I don’t use Dust Cover on my Technics, actually i don’t use dust cover on any turntables. But that silicone fluid is sticky and dust will be there anyway soon, after a year or two it looks awful.

As for that Canadian lift i have no idea why anyone should buy it if very similar lift made in Japan by Audio-Technica is much cheaper? AT product is always a top quality: https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/accessories/398e4995e9bfe926/index.html

AT is again making its own invention, with a simplification (the old 'lock-down' wire wasn't needed). When AT's patents expired, others rushed in with variations on the same technology; I don't see any of the knock-offs as being 'better'.

I had three AT 'Safety Raisers'. I didn't buy any, all came with TTs I bought. I sold one, lost another, now I'd down to one. Now that I use multiple arms, I regret my casual attitude.

I’ve been using the Safety Raiser since 1980. My first lasted 30+ years. When it began lifting too quickly(6 years back), I bought a couple NOS/NIB pieces. Don’t need another, but- I’ve been wondering if the re-released version, is actually made in Japan.
