Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?

There is often discussion of the relationships among the various Victor TT series turntables, the 101, 81, and 71.  The page in Vintage Knob cited by Chakster if you click on the blue Victor in his post, clarifies the differences nicely.
"The TT-81 is a 101 sans Double Bi-Directional Servo and with a simplified pitch control system/display ; the functions and features are nevertheless the same : +/- servo, ±6Hz of 440Hz without switching off quartz-lock switch, soft-touch transport keys and electronic braking with reverse-current circuit.
The strobe is included in the servo loop to avoid AC fluctuations from affecting the actual reading.

The TT-71 is an 81 without +/- servo, no pitch control, an even simplified stroboscope circuit and a solenoid-activated braking pad.

Many integrated players were based on these two drives : QL-10 (TT-81), QL-7 (TT-81) or QL-F6 (TT-81 but with Double Bi-Directional Servo added) among others."
However, I can attest that at least one small point in the VK passage is not correct.  The QL10 incorporates a TT101, not a TT81, along with a plinth and a UA 7XXX series tonearm.  That's how I bought my TT101, as part of a QL10 ensemble.

I have always known and am sure I am not mistaken that
-QL 10 consists of TT101, UA 7045 arm and CLP1 plinth
-QL 8 consists of a TT 81 engine, UA 7045 arm and CLP1 plinth

-QL7A is composed of a TT 71 engine and tonearm derived from UA7045 but very simplified with a lifter adjustable by a knob the plinth is chipboard not even plywood veneered, in wood for the Japanese market and partly for some European countries otherwise it is always matt black ... same thing for QL7 with lever adjusted lifter.
Finally QL6 with TT61 engine wood veneer plinth for Japanese market I don't think it has ever been exported outside of Japan.
This is all.

@best-groove, I never stated Marantz was "famous" for their tables, I stated they were "nice" tables for the time period and if you can find one in fairly good condition. 

@Tim_p
ok no problems, nice yes but similar to other brands of the time; the 6300 is a good example but the interest stops there.
In this 3ad we discuss the best DD turntables, try to make a list of the best or considered best for each brand if is possible, the Marantz TT 1000 could be part of this list.
All there.

My Victor 101 plinth is original and recently veneered by me with Teak. 4 arm boards. That's a lot of experimenting.
