I have used Teac 3300 3.75/7.5 ips 2 track machine to transfer paper/craft base tape. I use the 7" torque position and a 10" hub for take up to reduce take up torque even more in the 7" position.
Since the slitting of paper base was never that accurate i bypass the feed stabelizing lever and go directly around the idler roller from the feed reel and let the head nest tape guide align the tape.
Tapes of that vintage ive had are mostly 2 track mono one in each direction and the 1/2 track stereo heads of the teac produced a useable signal to digitize.... dont worry about matching the record equalization just get a transfer and then do the audio manipulation in digital.
