Yes do so, I just got a PM from him and he said that my cabinet wasn't original to my machine :-(. I guess the Pitman rod on mine was Iron like the base not wood like this one has. Hubby is going to have to make me one.. Yep it's a family affair! rofl
Hmmmm, OK who's messing with the machines and cabinets!!!!
LOLOL!!!

Could just lift the needle, lift the pressor foot, and move the fabric forward a tiny bit such that the needle steps back one stitch length, lower the pressor foot and the needle again, and then continue sewing forward.
This would be quick to do and accomplish the lock stitch you need.
I do this on an older machine that I like to sew with, and which has a reverse lever alright, but which lever is clumsy to operate. I call it "back step stitching" and it works fine.
