Cathy,
Ah Yes! I just checked my coffin top and even though the peg is missing, I can see that my machine would line up perfectly if it were there. Now I know "what". Now I want to know "why"! I'll guess again. Is it to relieve some of the strain placed on the machine's hinges to the base when it is tilted back?
I decided to post a picture of the hinges on my machine. Although these hinges don't seem as heavy duty as the Singer cabinet hinges, the machine itself is not as heavy as a Singer either.

Thanks so much,
