    Default What's that swing out arm called?

    On vintage Singer cabinets, there is a swing out arm that supports the left hand side "lid". What's that arm called? I've searched for help on that, but I can't find it. So, I must be calling it the wrong thing.

    I think it might be this...

    COMES OUT WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR CABINET TO SUPPORT
    THE EXTENSION TABLE

    Or it could be called a 'support arm' - but I kinda like 'swingy thingy'.

    On one of my cabinets, there's one that won't stay in. I had hoped to find a solution, but there's not much repair info out there on the "swingy thingy". I guess it's going to be a trial and error learning situation. I'll just find an interim solution until I get to that machine.
