A friend of mine had an A-R turntable that could be started with a slight spin in either direction. It was fun to listen to the "backward messaging" in some of those old rock records on it, we didn't have to try to hold the speed manually. Unfortunately, he later replaced it with a Beogram that bounced all over the record if you dared to move in the room while it was playing.
