Default HELP: 1/4" RtR Tape Speed Problem

I am converting a 3" 1/4" 4-track reel-tape to CD. Trouble is, the
beginning is playing back fast and high-pitched (hand-in-hand), but the tail
is slow and low-pitched. This implies to me it is a section from a larger
reel of tape, but on a small reel. I am currently capturing at 3.75ips.

Is there a way of balancing out the speed errors?

I tried using a small-spool reel for takeup, but to no avail.

Should I try transferring the tape to a larger spool, to simulate the
suppossed former reel, or am I way off on that one? My thought about that
is that it may have been from a larger, 7.5ips reel

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave Schein II
