hey, i just won this on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5856491034&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1) and it will be my first reel to reel. i basically want to use it for stereo mixes, and maybe to directly record some stuff on like piano. i was wondering what else i need to use this? i've seen the user manual for sale online, and i think i'm going to get that, and also a few tapes, but what tapes should i get? and how many do i need?

This, this, and some of this for good measure.

thanks for the help, but i need a take up reel. any idea where i can get one inexpensively? i've been searching online and cant really find any that arent sold in extremely large bulk sets.

The only places are ebay and this place (and they are all out)....(That I know of)
