The reverse lever (effectively) just moves a link from one side of a pivot point to the other. It wold be easy to set one up backwards. I'm not sure why you would want to though.
Had to redo the vid. Here's a couple of my machines.
Just in case you need to name a part, here's a handy diagram...

Yesterday's big score - a 1957 Singer 31-15, picked up for a whole $12. Pretty dirty/grimy outside but the inside is clean. Motor runs quiet but the old belt broke immediately (no surprise; it's dried out & badly cracked), so running the machine itself will have to wait a bit, which is fine - more time for the fresh lube to soak in.
Nice where did you find it?Yesterday's big score - a 1957 Singer 31-15, picked up for a whole $12. Pretty dirty/grimy outside but the inside is clean.

My wife noticed it at an estate sale she was at. She bought it before calling me about whether or not I'd want it - for $12, can't go wrong. Even if the machine was a total basket case the table is worth more than that.
My sewing machine is faster then this machine because it goes up 11. Right across the board they all go up to eleven. Most machines only go to 10.
