Default Brother XR-52 mechanical machine problem

Just wondering if anyone has a mechanical Brother that has a presser foot that only stays up at "half mast" so to speak and if you have fixed it. It will go all the way up if I lift it, but won't stay all the way up. By some miracle I took the front and back off the machine and can barely see in the area with the presser foot mechanism. It is not the needle bar - that works fine. I don't want to take it in if I can help it. I know this is a low end machine, but, it has never given me a minute's problem in sewing. I could live with this issue if I had to, since I have for a couple of years, but, now that I tinker with my vintage machines, thought I would give this a try.
