Thanks for the great advice! The RMGI LPR35 sounds like a good option. At $30 per reel it's not cheap, but seems like the best route to take. I'm assuming if the previous owner of the 388 I'm looking at used 1.0 mil tape as well, the machine won't need an alignment. Apparently he used Maxell and Scotch. I'm waiting to hear back if it was in fact 1.0 mil. Other than that, it looks like it's in perfect shape. Its important to me not to have to put a lot of work/repairs into it.
