(They did not use the top of the range cassettes.) What I do find is that the little plastic pin that hold the magnetic tape to the little plastic wheel starts to deteriate and break. That can be solved fairly easy.

As you stated, it is costly. I checked many places on the internet trying to find a less expensive one. If you could list some that are cheaper I would appreciate it.

They are not as fragile as you may think unless they were stored in a high humidity environment such as a basement.
