I don't have any hard information on this.
The deterioration of cassettes is more as Dave says. I would not rule out
baking a cassette, but I'd put it in a new shell first and try it.
The biggest problem I've had has been one or two squealing tapes that did
not respond to baking. I ended up liberally applying Last Factory stuff to
it and finally it worked, but it took a whole afternoon.
Hmmm...talk about losing money on a transfer!
