they no longer stock Isopropyl Alcohol so that was the best I could manage).

My 400 box tracks didn't sound slow when I played them back so either my
deck is running fast and compensating or yours is slow!! Of some of the
other tapes from my old collection recorded on various decks I#'ve had to
either reduce speed by 2% or increase by 1.5%.
