I've got a tape streamer in a jjiffy bag, floating around in a plastic sack 
of old spares, out in the garage if you want it :-)
...and the ISA interface card and two or three TR3 tapes to go with it !!

....whilst looking for a picture of it, I found :-

...same as mine :-)

...I wonder if the vendor will ever sell it ?

I do remember that the chap that bought it paid around �400 if memory serves 
!
