Looks like the photo has been reversed. The arm is on the wrong side. Unless the motor runs backwards.

It's playing the Beatles or ELO to get that hidden message only heard by playing in reverse! :shock:

If the video was taken with a webcam, the image is usually reversed

Actually the Seeburg Selectomatic mechanism plays the B sides backwards but they have a special cartridge so the needle for that side mounts the opposite way.
