Hi there.

Back in the day, I spliced damaged cassettes a couple of times using Scotch tape with no problems. In the pre-internet era, when you're in a small town in the middle of Iowa, coming across proper splicing tape is next to impossible.

Usually, I'd splice 'em, play them once to tape them off onto a fresh tape & ditch the damaged original.

I think if you play it once or twice to dub it & then clean the heads afterward, you'll probably be ok. If you have a super-expensive deck and are really worried about it, you could just find a cheaper deck to play it back on for dubbing.

Cheers,
Bobbo :-)
