There are others, but the Pioneer RT-909 is one reel-to-reel tape deck that I know is particularly popular.
On the subject of repairs, that's one thing that makes pro units so attractive. They are more likely to be serviceable for a long time, with parts available from the manufacturer. There are some commercial units that have a long support period, but I think the majority of them are forgotten in an incredibly short time. That's one thing I hate - If you can't get parts for some this stuff, it's rendered unserviceable. You can usually second-source electronics components, but little plastic parts of mechanical assemblies aren't so easy.
