In that case just try it and see how it sounds. Cassettes recorders very rarely managed 17kHz response although quite a few claimed up to 20KHz and above. The reality is that unless the recording was made on good tape with a very good machine in perfect alignment then the response of the playback machine at 12kHz and above won't matter much.

If it sounds OK then you're sorted.

If the tapes are valuable then try the least valuable ones first. Old tapes on old machines often tangle.
