Best looking reel to reel

I’m looking for a really cool looking reel to reel. Something super gnarly, like the TEAC from Pulp Fiction. What are your favorite choices?

The later series III is a better arm, but for looks I still think it is trumped by the series II. And the V15iii MR was a great cartridge with vastly superior tracking (sadly no longer supported). Even so, the arrival of digital represented a clear improvement.
