There are also devices (I forget who makes/made them) called Stylift.
These contain a delicately-balanced weight which is unbalanced when
the tonearm touches it, causing it to drop down and (via a lever
mechanism) lift the tonearm.  I had one on my Kenwood KD-500 / Black
Widow, and it worked, kinda -- but it was a royal pain to set up,
and you had to re-cock it before every album.

Myself, I have decided I am lazy enough that I require at least
auto lift/shutoff in my turntables.  As a matter of fact, I am
looking for a new one right now.  Anybody got any good suggestions?
