I have had good luck with moldy tapes. Mine seemed to be just on the surface and quite dry. I opened the shell and used a brush to dust off and an air can to get rid of the rest. Then I ran them fast forward to the end and reverse to the beginning with no head contact for a cleaning pass. Air clean again. They played.
