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?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that the Crowns really didn't sound that good.  Very rugged and easily repaired, but sonics were sub par compared to Ampex, Studer, etc.
That was my impression also, onhwy61. The Crown’s had great transports, but their electronics had a bit of a hard, transistor glare. Poor parts, or mediocre design? I don't know, but Revox's just sound better.
Otari all the way, one of THE most elegant pieces that ever graced my home .
