Akai made an auto-reversing tape deck that turned the cassette over instead of changing head azimuth and direction. A local furniture store that also sold electronics had a floor model for sale that I wanted. Bad.
Alas, my father was a firm "no." Or maybe it was a good thing. I'm sure the mechanism had a short life.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Nakamichi made one that turned the cassette over, too. I never owned it. I bought two Dragons instead. The Dragon was absolutely topnotch. It came so close to sounding like my Revox A77 that I switched to cassette and sold my A77. I bought two Dragons so I could dub cassettes for friends. All of my friends owned cassette tape recorders but very few owned reel-to-reel tape decks.

I had a Nach 1000 ii. The Belts needed replacing, then something happened that Nach on Long Island told me it couldn't be fixed. I don't remember the sound, but liked to align the heads and record on it.
mint Nak LX-3 deck, so perfect it looked new. Great price.
Got it out of the box, played a tape I had laying around, needed azimuth adjustment. Turned the wrong screw and broke the retainer holding the play head in place.
Found a replacement part online, put it all back together, plugged it in an poof! The voltage switch on the back had accidentally been thrown to 100v while I was repairing the deck and it was fried.
Never got to play or record a single tape.
