Turntable automation


So i have a turntable to listen to my vinyl records but once the record is done i have to get up and repress the start button. It is an automatic turntable so i don't have to drop the needle myself but i can do it myself with the manual button if i would like to get to a specific track, which i do frequently. I was just wondering if there was any way for me to set the turntable to automaticly start again once the record is done. I know there is no way i can get it to flip over the record for me as well but i figured this would be good enough until i had time to get up and flip it myself.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Does it have electronic buttons or is it strictly mechanical (like my two)?

I think it is mechanical. It just has a start, stop and needle up/down (basicly a pause button). I hit the start button and the table starts spinning and the arm automaticly moves and starts. The stop button makes the turntable stop and needle goes back to rest position. The up/down button does exactly that, i can move the arm around so i can get to any track i want off the record.

Basicly what i want is for it to hit the start button on it's own after it automaticly stops when it reaches the end of the record.

Well, my original idea is no good then However, if your's is like mine, it works on a cam system. Maybe if you look at it (pull the platter off), you can find a way to prevent it from disengaging the cam at the end of the stop cycle. I hope you can make sense of the previous sentence.

It's a belt drive turntable but if i disengage it and stop it from disengaging the turntable movement mechanism, how would the needle automaticly go back to the begining of the record?
