Custom machined to fit the new SL-1300G and every Technics SL-1200 version from the 1979 Mk2 and up to the latest high end models.
The new upgraded Disco is no longer made from lightweight aluminium but machined from solid brass and then nickel plated. The functional upgrade is that it now comes with a magnet mount instead of a double-sided adhesive. You can just lift it off the mounting platform to readjust the trigger point or height level. The hex set screw dimension is also changed to the larger M3, so if (or when) you loose the Allen key in your long-haired rug, you can use a standard 1.5mm Allen key instead of the original 0.9mm very non-standard size.
The adjustable height range is based on use with the standard 5.8mm rubber mat and Technics tonearm. If you have modified your turntable or use other configurations, there is an extra double-sided adhesive in the toolkit so you can go lower by omitting the 0.5mm mounting platform.
Automatic tonearm lifter for manual turntables
Extends the life of your stylus and adds convenience to your manual turntable!
A great turntable is almost always manual. Little Fwend is mounted on your turntable and set up to trigger a lifting mechanism that raises your tonearm and stylus above the surface of the record after the music inevitably fades out.
Little Fwend is the automatic tonearm lifter with one mission; to save your cartridge from unnecessary wear.
It does it safely. It does it smoothly. It does it looking good.
Little Fwend has provided turntable-owners with peace of mind since 2015. Some use rare or expensive cartridges they want to keep from unnecessary wear, others just think the sound of the run-out groove is annoying to wake up to. If you are the type that listens to music in a mindful and focused fashion, that is great - but sometimes the disturbances of everyday life, coffee is ready, a drifting thought and - voila….did I turn off the record player at all? Not that we are trying to sow the seed of fear, but raise your hand if you have not once forgot you´re playing a record - or fallen asleep in the listening room.
