Yes. I like Quantegy and Maxell.
https://www.amazon.com/Quantegy-456-Reel-Tape-Plastic/dp/B0013GSW28
US Recording sells 2 packs of 1/4" tape in 1200'and 1800' lengths here
and Amazon has the singles here
That's all I can find for new production, and as far as I can tell, they're the about the only game in town.
I don't know much about DIN connections, but it seems that 7 pin was used on a bunch of Bang & Olufsen gear / Euro stuff. Here's some sort of 7 pin to RCA adapter on Amazon. Not sure if it's stereo in or out though, you'd have to research that. Maybe in the German manual you can see if there is a pin out diagram?
