Middle of the road brand names.

Look for a Nakamichi Dragon tape deck with a sweet auto-reverse mechanism (it physically moves the tape off the tape spindles, flips the tape from side A to side B, and moves the tape back on the tape spindles, so that tape head's azimuth alignment never drifts as easily as did with the tape decks that simply reversed the tape spindles motion and relied on the dual-record/playback head.).

Sanyo didn't ever sell much in the way of "hifi" stereo equipment in the USA. What they sold was cheap entry level stuff. In my experience their stuff was built like a freaking TANK. I bought a Sanyo brand direct drive turntable in something like 1982 and my brother Andrew still uses it and it works perfectly after all these years. Their cassette decks were bottom of the line, but I would expect them to run solidly. Fisher stuff was hifi in the 60s but by the late 70s they were relegated to entry level "junk". Again, built like a tank. My brother has a Sears/Fisher reciever from something like 1979 and it still works great. Not the best sound quality but stuff that was built to last.
