1) i need to align my pr99mkIII very soon for a mix session. recently
had the heads relapped, got an alignment tape . . .

2) i'm having quite a hard time finding a manual for a revox pr99mkIII

Get a B77 manual. The alignment directions will be the same.
Or ask on rec.radio.broadcasting. There are a lot of those things out
there and someone will be willing to make you a copy.

what information will i need from the manual? can anyone supply this
info?

Not all that much but you should still read it over. DO NOT TOUCH the
bias trap adjustments. Just do the azimuth, level, play eq, then go
do the record bias and eq. Using the modern overbias method is probably
better if you are using modern tapes. The manual may tell you how to use
the old 1KC method with no overbias.
