Tascam 388 - Maintenance?

Any Tascam 388 owners out there? I'm about to get my hands on a machine in excellent condition. The original owner treated it very well! I'm new to the world of reel-to-reel and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any routine maintenance operations that will keep it running smoothly. I've read up a bit on head cleaning and demagnetizing. When is it necessary to perform an alignment? And how should this be done? Also, does anyone know what the best tape is for the 388? Can it still be purchased new?
