They're all gone after 30 years. Durability of cassettes is just brilliant. There's cassettes from the early sixties that are just fine.
The problem is often the way they are treated. When stored properly and played in clean machines, they are virtually indestructible.

I'd never seen anyone with the dedication to cassettes that S K seems to have. I guess they are more popular than I gave them credit for.
Oh I'm not that much into cassettes. I'm much more into open reel tapes and vinyl . Cassettes are cool, but they have a lot of exchange problems. Most cassette decks just don't match. Tapedecks do, somehow.
