The tapes affected by the problem that requires baking are typically Ampex tapes - what brand do you have here?
If you ARE considering baking the tape, I'd recommend removing it from the case first!

with the evidence pointing towards magnetic field issues as described by jameskg or pressure pad failure, as you and showtaper have suggested, baking is definately out of the question on my cassettes. Thanks.
