Default Need help with my vintage cabinet

My son gave me a Singer Clone White machine for Christmas, and it works great. I want to put it in my cabinet, which I've had for ages (and have been using as a table.)

The cabinet seems to be different from those I can find online. When the machine is lowered into the machine, it folds backward instead of rolling forward. I need a peg or something at the front right corner of the machine bed to keep it in place. There is a hole for that peg/whatever in the wood of the cabinet. Inside its own carrying case, there was a swiveling piece of plastic that accomplished that. (it's broken, or I would try to use it here.)

The large part of the wood top is hinged on the right, and when I lift it to open it, the machine rises from the inside. There is a strap system that operates that. The two doors of the cabinet open outward, and the left one helps to support the left side of the opened table.

I would like to know how to refer to this type of table while I search for the hardware I need.

I will try to get some pictures later.

Thank you!
