I have the chance to get one of the 3 decks mentioned.
The Dragon works but the NAAC is slightly out of line, it’s an early serial number which I understand can mean an expensive service. The sales price is of course the highest! The RX-505 works as expected, just never serviced and is being offered at half the price of the Dragon. The DR-2 is near mint and hardly used and is priced between the Dragon and the RX-505.
AKAI GX-95 MK II (TOTL) is another excellent choice w/ both level and bias calibration, and is usually cheaper and equals RX-505 in SQ. I have both and I highly recommend them.
