I guess the CIA is interrogating this machine. Wouldn't you point the light on the machine?

I'm more curious as to why the image is reversed.

I noticed that too. Both of the pictures in the ad are reversed. Hmmmm.....if they turn the pictures around do you think the lamp will be facing the wall??
(Just kidding, lol)

White Rotary machines might be common, the Florence branded ones, not so much. Given that and the decals aren't chewed up I'd probably be tempted. I don't think the price is too far out of line and this is coming from a self acknowledged bottom feeder. I'd try to talk them down given the condition of the cabinet though.
I didn't even catch the Singer in the title. :D

The reversed image-don't you have to work at it to make that happen?

Yes. It isn't like the upside-down photos that happen on their own.

It said something about the poster needing to use a computer webcam or something. I STILL can't figure out how to do it backwards though.

Front facing cameras (at least the ones I have experience with) tend to reverse the image. I think if I take a still image with the webcam on my netbook it's reversed.

Can't say I do it often enough to remember. Usually it's if one of the kids is playing around on there.

maybe it is done with mirrors

That's really strange. I wonder what the logic is behind it, because I can't make any sense of it at all. I can't say I've ever used the web cams on any of my computers.
