I had the exact same machine with the exact same problem! (Hey, maybe it's mine!) Take a bobby pin and jiggle it around in the hole. It will take a little doing, but you'll get it open. Try not to be impatient about it, but remember the direction and what you are hitting with the bobby pin and where so you won't have the same problem next time.
As for what's inside - it's a wonderful machine! |
How lovely!!! You sister knew there was a sewing machine inside.....she gave it to you. Nice sister.
Keep it and love it. |
Oh gosh! My first machine looked like that. Bought at Salvation Army is for around $3 in the groovy 60's. Made many a pair of bellbottoms and hot pants on that machine.

hmmmm.... how do I find this out? |
