There are such services but they are very costly. Your best bet is to find 
someone locally. Surely, a student at your school has the resources and can 
be 'bought' for a pizza. If there is much cleanup to be done, you will want 
someone with proven techniques - and the higher the skill, the higher the 
price and the fewer candidates will be around. Since there's substantial 
risk in transporting the source material, you should look for a local source.

I do this sort of thing for material of interest to me (largely, classical 
vocal recordings), but only on a volunteer basis. I recommend that anyone 
sending irreplaceable material in my direction make a backup first, though 
with some formats, particularly old open-reel tape, that can be a 
substantial problem in itself.

Incidentally, I'm not familiar with six-inch tapes. Standard reel sizes are 
seven-, five- and three-inch.
