Anyone into quality vintage direct drive?

I grew tired of the Thorens 124 (Sold it) and am experimenting with vintage direct drive tables. Any suggestions?

I found a Technics SP-10MKII on ePay for $215 and built a birch plywood plinth, and I'm very happy with the sound. The big home model Japanese DD sure look gorgeous, but they seem to sell for much more than the SP10MkII since the price of the Technics is kept low because they made so many for the radio market. In any event, I would only get oneof the top end models and stay clear of the mass market crap.
