Hey Pauluk
the most common everyday turntables were BSR all major manufacturers used to use their various models however garrard was deemed in the 60s at least to be superior and therefore were used in more expensive machines. They had a laboratory series which claimed to have a much more stable motor and also a bigger idler wheel so as to reduce wow , flutter ,etc these units were more expensive than most others and were called the audiophile series.
In the very late 60s and early 70s the duals from germany became the favourite with most local hi fi manufacturers
