I have two (0.25") reel-to-reel decks in storage. (Though I think I stretched the belt out too much on one of them.) Also, 1.5ips is slow, and 7ips is fast. (ipc=inches per second) (Though I thought that the typical tape speeds were 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, ..., 60ips (~40MPH? You can record video on linear tracks at 60ips) (I used to have access to a 16-channel 1-inch-reel deck that went up to that speed.)
It should be easy to just play the tapes back at the 'wrong' speed, and then correct them on the computer. (Assuming that you know the exact scalar to use, or there are reference tones (know freq.) recorded on the tape somewhere.)
