Decca in England used to sell a simple mechanical tone arm lifter for about
$5. that does the job quite well, although not viscously.  I used to use one
on my AR turntable.  Perhaps they're no longer available (I doubt they
ever were in the USA).

If you're going to England there's a shop on Tottenham Court Rd just
N of Oxford St that sells nothing but record-playing accessories - dedusters,
pads, replacements for Watts products, cables, etc.  Large shop, large stock;
that would be the place to ask.
