I've inherited an Ampex 600 reel-to-reel in good working condition (once I removed the mouse nest, that is). I've got the original paperwork and manuals. I think I should probably clean and relube the tape transport and takeup mechanisms; what cleaners and lubricants are appropriate for this purpose? The manual calls out a lubricant I doubt is available any more (don't have the manual in front of me, though).

It's been a couple of decades since I owned a reel-to-reel. What else should I do to make sure it continues to run? I've also got a bunch of tape reels; anybody have any experience hooking up one of these things to a PC for capturing the audio output digitally?

Thanks!
