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!

That crazy Garrard with parallel tracking arm. Looked great - mad auto return mechanism (erratic) - cool looking - decent bass - good fun

@lohanimal : the Garrard Zero100 has a tangential arm that lacks proper tracking due to sloppy linkages between the arm parts. To be avoided!

I have the improved version of that table...the GT55, which you don't see very often. Definitely a lot better arm, thought still not great. Regardless, it sounds good.
