Where can I find a Colton Verilift tone arm lift for an AR-XA TT ?

I would like to try and find a Colton Verilift tone arm lift for my AR-XA TT ? I'm aware of the Q Up and such... just want to see if I can find the classic Colton Verilift.

Hello,
Don't want to get your hopes up too much but I may have that lift here but if I do I may also be interested in holding on to it as well.
My good friend Marc Morin, God rest his soul, called just before he passed away and had me come over and pretty much clean out his work space of pieces and parts. Since then I have picked up various AR tables in different levels of condition to refurb. One of them may have that arm lift.
Will keep you posted. Please be patient
Thank you

Thank you for your response. No rush… I am putting a nicely restored AR-AX into my living room set up, so that my young sons can start to appreciate its sound. Thanks again!

Very nice that you are sharing with them!
Well as it turns out I do have at least one of those arm lift but the top edge of the black tube is worn down to the metal. Haven't decided it I'll hold on to it. In the meantime I will keep looking and this week I will be doing some traveling. Will be in Lubbock, TX and Phoenix. I will stop to do some searching and if I come across one I'll pick it up

Sounds good! I really appreciate your time looking for this piece.

I was able to find a Colton Varilift for my AR XA... Thanks for helping me keep the faith that there were some of these cueing devices out there, and for introducing me to the work of Marc Morin and his AR expertise. I've learned a lot in this short amount of time.
