Mid 1950s was the territory of Garrard, Voice of Music (V-M), even Collaro. While I have heard some nice mono Garrard tables of that era, my preference would be a V-M or the finest changer of the mid to late '50s: the Glaser-Steers. The GS stops spinning during the change cycle, which is a super cool feature. The GS-77 has a very underrated tonearm as well. It might surprise many readers that the earlier mono GS tables with 4 pole motors were not redesigned for stereo. That means the motors are interchangeable and the designers knew the rumble figure was good enough for stereo !
I like the V-M s for their reliability and ease of service. They are similar to the RCA 45 changers because RCA copied the V-M cycling sled. With the quintessential GE RPX phono cartridge, the V-M tables with 4 pole motors are my choice for spinning a stack of 78s...
