So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000?

Pretty much as the title says.
Have been looking for a while for a decent DD table to add to my lot.
Have bought a few lower end ones and ultimately been dissapointed.
Now I know there were/ are literally hundreds of choices from the Japanese Golden era of DD tables.
Looking for suggestions from actual owners of solid DD tables up to about $1000 .
I have read and read but nothing substitutes for real experience.
This would likely not be my primary table, my Garrard 401 has that position for now.

Thank you.

Clearthink, You've got to be kidding.  No one talks like that. Did your mom say to you that you must eat, masticate, and devour your dinner?

Have you not run into our triplicate friend before?
It is quite funny to read his posts at times just for that element

English is not my first or second or even third language I am still learning it I travel to the US just a few times a year so don't have a lot of opportunity to practice and absorb Western idioms but you are free to mock my language because it is ok I don't think much of the US it's a cesspool of poverty, ignorance, and violence.

I think it’s unique to those Victor arms, and a fine improvement. Only a "small" difference and invisible from outside — though an "end-on" view shows a difference. And they had the sense to use the standard SME h’shell, always available, while others designed their own "unique" shells — they had a firmer grip (screw-down et al) but so hard to find now.

The headshell and tonearm chucking lock for the headshell on Victor 7045/7082 is just like on FR 64s and Lustre 801 tonearms. No difference.
