Back when I was trying to listen to "Recorded Books" cassettes I had some
finely powdered MolySulfide from National Camera used to lubricate camera
shutters. A little of this dusted into the cassette openings and carried through the
pack by rewinding made them playable.
Very fine graphite powder might work as well.
