And yes, I have the same disease as you do. Most of us here do. ;-)
It does "lean." However, it is because the right side has a metal projection meant as a "leg." The left side rests on a bolt holding the bobbin case mechanism. The machine is meant to be in a base, a cute but fragile bottom came with it from the factory. The two bases I've seen had been crushed to bits.
