Do you remember vertical players in the 1970s?
I seem to recall one that was sold as a high-end product, but I never looked into it to see if it might be a good product or not. I was happy with my Technics direct drive at the time, and had no reason to look for a table. It had a great cartridge and tone arm, and was plenty good for my budget at the time.
I was already familiar with the snake oil in audio (which is why I built my own loudspeakers) so I didn't really feel the need to look further. But in hindsight, I do now wonder if that table had legitimate claim or not.
To be honest, I think it was probably BS. Same as the linear tracking tables of the time. More time spent marketing a fabrication of supposed technology than actually spending the time to develop something worthwhile.
