Let me second the ATR Services recommendation.  Andrew can help you find
what you're looking for.

Hi Lance!

We just got a remanufactured Ampex ATR-102 with full mono, 2 track stereo,
and
1/4 track stereo heads from ATR Services in York, PA. It can play anything
from
1 7/8 ips to 60 ips and is an awesome machine. It is also capable to adjust
to
speeds that might lie inbetween. But it is not cheap.

Their website is www.atrservice.com. You might want to see if they can help
this
archivist out.
