There are copies of some of these tapes in the Arthur Burks papers at IUPUI. I did not try to play them and cannot comment on their quality. I do not believe he had the full set. http://liberalarts.iupui.edu/iat/index.php/centers/arthur_burks_collection I'm actually very interested in the Nick Metropolis papers which appear to be at LANL, but for which there seems to be no route for scholarly access in less than the glacial time periods involved with FOIA.

Are others aware of these recordings? I am attempting to recover these recordings from our library and do something sensible with them as part of our history of computing at Los Alamos project. Talks by Stan Ulam, Mauchly, Burks, and dozens of others are potentially salvageable (something like 30 hours of audio). If someone has already restored these gems, let me know and I won't bother.
