That would be $60 - $70, but the drive could wear out any time (they inherited the office 2 years ago), and a new tape drive would almost certainly refuse to write to such a small capacity tape.  I've been there before --- it will READ the old tapes, but only WRITE to a newer, higher capacity tape.
