Default Please help with Singer 401a big tan knob...

Hi Everyone: My daughter had a friend stay with her when she lost her job. When my daughter's friend got back on her feet finding a new job and a place to live, she gave my daughter a Singer 401a and said she didn't sew and didn't have a place for it and belonged to someone else in her family and she didn't want it.
Below are the pics of it. It sews beautifully, has 6-7 cams, attachments and is free moving except for the big brown knob on the upper front. The manual says to pull it to make it move the left silver lever to the different letters but I can not get it to pull out. The right silver lever moves fine. Is there anything I can do to make the brown knob pull out or move the lever? Any help would be appreciated. And I know if anyone can help, it will be y'all on the Quilting Board. The machine is in great condition otherwise, I think...
Thanks in advance,
Quiltjoey
