Hate to burst your bubble but the fidelity will be quite low.

Cool little recorder, diggy!
I'm not sure where you could get 3" reels of tape any more but I would guess someone on ebay will offer some up eventually!
Cheers!
I'm guessing these were 1 7/8...
If you can find some reels, one or two 7" reels of Ampex 641 ought to be just right to spin down.
Can I spool tape onto the 3" reels that leader tape comes on?
Yes, that would work.
Does the deck come with the tape that was shown in the pictures?
one man's dog urine is another's gatorade...
Man, that's DISGUSTING!

For the best sound quality this thing can provide you need a very low bias (standard) tape, something like Scotch 111 or 141. 641 probably won't work well, if at all, you tape from the 60s. 111, if you can find it, could be too brittle to use, but anything with a polyester base of that era should be fine.
