Killer vintage 70's, 80's reel to reel to add to my setup.

Hey everyone. Looking to add a Killer vintage R2R from the 70’s, 80’s to my current analogue setup that includes the Luxman PD444 and Victor TT-101 tables. I like the looks of the 70’s, 80’s but want to hear what you suggest. I’ll tell you right now, I know nothing about R2R and look forward to everyone bringing me up to speed with the basics and deck suggestions. Budget is around $4500. Thanks! Brent

Leaning toward Technics and Sony regarding cosmetic integration into my system and for being killers. RS1500 and TC-766-2 are the front runners.
@stereo5  Teac is nice!

Time to travel to Japan when covid allows. I don't see anything available online that tickles my fancy. My Luxman and Victor 101 are close to mint.

@petg60 Technics and Sony decks in excellent cosmetic condition are rare and challenging to find correct? Might need to visit Japan as soon as possible to locate one.

Also, what NEW two channel decks are available in the $5000 range. Depending on look, I might go this route.
