The expected life of a magnetic tape recording is an average of 20 years. So chances are your precious recordings have are already degraded significantly.
Additionally, as playback systems age the rubber capstan drive deteriorates, increasing the damage to your taped material every time it's played. At the very least, to preserve your recordings they should be digitized, through a well maintained and calibrated tape playback system.
