Hi Janey,

Hi Janey,
I think it is a 7/8" access hole to access the large head machine screw on the presser foot shaft, IMO. There is an oiling hole or fitting above the take up lever. So I don't think it is an oiling hole.
Some class 15 clones have this cap (or plug/cover) and others do not in photographs. I think could also be a dust cover. It's not vented.
The one I have on one machine says "PAT 401043". US patent 401043 says that it is an "educational apparatus" ??? "PAT" is not for US Patent. Maybe that's a part number.
I tried to find this "cap" part with your description but it's not listed anywhere I could find under various combinations of terms. Oh well. Home Depot has metal 3/4" plugs that can be made to work.
Thanks again for your help and the others that posted. I'll keep looking for one.
Stefan
