Per my post from last week, after checking out the Decitek readers I ended
up getting a used by warrantied EECO "The Director" MT-82 tape reader with
a short-height spool for a good price.
Here is the manual.

Anyone use this unit? I saw some youtube video display how the servos
appear to treat the tape kindly, that was a selling point. Not as
interested in speed as that's not the point, eh?
Note that the servos are the tape spool drives. The actual tape reading block has a
sprocket wheel with stepper motor drive. Not bad but not ideal for fragile tape.
