C.We watched "Late Night with the Devil" (2023) tonight. I posted a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/5SecondMovieReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#5SecondMovieReview</a> of it earlier. We enjoyed it.However... one little thing about it is nagging at me, like a splinter in the mind's eye.It's a period piece, set in the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/1970s" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#1970s</a>. The major thread of the story includes a psychologist and her sessions with a patient, which are <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/recorded" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#recorded</a>. Part of one is played back as part of a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/television" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#television</a> show, and onscreen during that <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/playback" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#playback</a> is an open-reel (aka reel-to-reel) <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tape" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#tape</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/deck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#deck</a> playing a tape.1970s, open-reel recording - it's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#retro</a>, it's <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cool" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cool</a>, it's period-authentic, right?I can't shake the feeling that whoever put the visual together has never actually seen an open-reel tape recorder in operation. This picture is lousy, because it's a screencap from the movie, which is supposed to be showing a television broadcast in good old analog SD - but it gets the point across.See anything wrong?The takeup <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/reel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#reel</a>, on the right, turns clockwise, the opposite direction of the (normal) direction of the supply reel. So the tape wraps onto the inner side of the takeup reel, and ends up "inside out".There's also no tension arm on the supply side, and an apparent <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tension" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#tension</a> arm on the takeup side, but it's not actually in the tape path.I don't think any machines were actually made like this, but I'm not an <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/expert" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#expert</a>. Can anyone identify the deck they butchered or digi-simmed to create this <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sin</a> against nature? 😉 <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OpenReel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OpenReel</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ReelToReel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ReelToReel</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/audio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#audio</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/audiophile" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#audiophile</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TapeDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TapeDeck</a>
