Lemme guess; it's on BetaMax?

Edit: reels?! You don't have a god damn flashlight and a wall?! I can still watch my dad's old 8mm tapes this way. It just doesn't have a consistent frame rate 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think it’s that kind of reel. Idk anything about Ampex but it’s probably magnetic tape

This is accurate. I mostly know Ampex because of their history with audio recording, but I'm passingly familiar with some of the other things they did.
