Can anyone help me? The actual tape of these cassettes have somehow unraveled and now won’t play. Is there a fix or are these are good as trash? Thanks!
You would have to take the tape apart. The empty spindle should have a spot with a little pin that hold the tape on spindle. Pop that out stick tape in divit pop back in pin. Reassemble.
You may have to splice a break in the tape. You will need proper cassette splicing tape, which you can probably find online. Don't use ordinary sticky tape. If there are no screws you'll have prise the case open by force and hope you can repair it afterwards, or just put the tape in a new case.
I've been using cassettes for at least 40 years and you can absolutely splice them with ordinary scotch transparent tape. Splicing is not easy but you don't have to use "splicing tape". Splicing tape does not make it easier or last longer. It just costs more and is harder to find.
Oh look... the $500+ Kate Bush tape down there :P

Thank you, I’ll try it soon. Is there an easy way to open up the tape if there’s no screws?
Sell your Kate Bush tape to someone on eBay for $1000 lmao
Yeah then he just buys one for 500 and makes a 500 dollar profit
You best enjoy that Kate Bush tape, I’ll never be able to afford one of prices stay this high lol

I think this YouTube video might help you:

Yep. I've also used a blob of glue. Just try not to have any sharp edges on the outside of the tape where it runs over the heads or may increase wear.
