I did not know what these devices were called. These little devices are invaluable. I've walked away from my listening room many times only to return the following morning. That practice is not an issue when playing DVDs or CDs. However, I've forgotten when playing LPs and I've returned on a few occassions to find the platter still spinning and the "eazy riser" suspending my cartridge/needle away from the delicate vinyl surface.

My table is fully manual so I purchased the "riser" at the suggestion of one of my coworkers when I initially purchased my turntable. That was many years ago. I told the salesman that I wanted one of those and pointed to one of the other tables which had an Easy Riser installed.

I've not seen one for sale anywhere since. Where would one find an eazy rider? Still available?
