Looking for a reel to reel deck that plays NAB and IEC EQ

I am looking for a half track 15ips reel to reel deck that plays both NAB and IEC (switchable) equalization besides an Otari MX 5050. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It also features plug and play head stacks, so switching from half track to quarter track is a breeze. I know for personal experience that these were used in radio stations and recording studios back in the day. They are extremely robust and superb sounding. I believe Stereophile reviewed this deck and compared it to the Crown SX-822, with the Pioneer coming out on top. it’s truly worth seeking out. Norman
