Vintage automatic turntable recommendations?

Hey guys-
I have a Rega RP1 and it is fine and all, but I would listen to more vinyl if I had an automatic turntable. I know that is sacrilegious in the hi-fi community, but who cares. Does anyone have any favorite vintage automatic turntables? I was checking out the Sansui XR-Q7 and it sounds like a good option...
Thanks in advance!

I have a Denon DP-61F purchased in the late 80s and been stored unused since the late 90s. Planning on limited teardown to verify functions, etc. Understand given it's age as a minimum it should be recapped. Does anyone have a recommended source for that service? Could do it myself but would rather have it done professionally. Plan to donate to my brother whose is search of a table to replace his AR. Not having great luck on the web. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

The Revox turntable is as unreliable as they get. Technics probably makes the most reliable auto lifting turntables. The old fully automatic tables were heavily mechanical devices built for a price. I would never buy one now except for display purposes. 
Get an auto lifter ( I just ordered one myself) and call it a day.
