Dragon, RX-505 or DR-2 ?

I have the chance to get one of the 3 decks mentioned. 

The Dragon works but the NAAC is slightly out of line, it’s an early serial number which I understand can mean an expensive service. The sales price is of course the highest!
The RX-505 works as expected, just never serviced and is being offered at half the price of the Dragon. 
The DR-2 is near mint and hardly used and is priced between the Dragon and the RX-505. 

Which one one would you choose?

harold-not-the-barrel"AKAI GX-95 MK II (TOTL) is another excellent"

Akai is second rate, budget, low performance option while it is not a bad deck it does not even remotely approach a Nakamichi such as the 505 or Dragon in performance, construction, or audio quality.
