I have an RS1500 and I think its one of the best looking R2Rs out there it sounds superb has a unique tape transport and just works like a dream
Separating out the Record replay amplification like the RS1800 would be a dream for me

Very nice Alan, lovely machines.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
