I got one of these today with a 1909 Singer 27 VS machine with the Pheasant decals on it. The machine lifts up and down nicely but there seems to be something missing for locking/unlocking the drawers? There is a hole that looks like anything protruding from the hole would be depressed when the little door on the left and the bottom is closed. But there's nothing in that hole. I can poke a knitting needle in there and it goes "tink, tink" on what I presume is the metal rod that controls the lock for all the drawers.
Can anyone confirm if I have indeed worked out what must be missing? And if I have, does anyone know what I can do to make it so that it works again please?
Thanks so much and kind regards... Megan
