If you google "magnetic tape viewer"
they have pictures of what I think the earlier poster described.
I see quite a few on eBay and Amazon. Looks like you just need to
pick a Japanese one? What's the distinguishing characteristic of a
better one? It'll see mag tape marks like the liquid does?
Or I would assume the liquid is much more high resolution.
I've not had any luck using the gold-colored Japanese film on magtape.
Magnetic stripes yes, but not tapes.
