Photos taken with digital cameras (including phones, pads, etc.) have an "up" designation built in. When you turn the camera sideways to take a photo, it keeps that "Up" designation, but will turn the photo for viewing. When the sideways (or upside down) photo is on your phone, pad or computer, it will show it to you like you expect to see it. However, when you post it to the internet, it only reads the "up" part and posts it just like you took it. You have to manually edit the photo to change the "up" designation.

Hi, here are my cabinet pictures and some inforelating to our machine. I also have the original chair that came with the cabinetwhich I also refinished and put a new cushion on. Discovered the knobs aresolid brass, they always looked black to me. A Dremel with a wire brushattachment cleaned them up in seconds.

The Raico company was located in Chicago.Machines were put together in Japan and finished off here, mainly with thedecorative labeling and the Raico seal. The Japanese clones as they are calledhave many labels but I have been looking for similar features, lever, knobs,etc. in my search for a manual. There is a generic manual that is helpful.

Also a youtube of someone demonstrating the closest one I could find to ours.

Lastly the yahoo group, it has tons of beautiful pictures of these machines. I recently posted pictures of our machine.

I plan on keeping mine. It's up at the house now and I have already used it. Sews beautifully.
