I love vintage Singer sewing machines! How fortunate for you! A hand crank and everything! Anxious to hear how she runs! Good luck!

Hey Birdog, I use the screwdriver too, My machine still works great , Treat her with love and she will outlast all of us,I plan on using mine for another 30 years, that will make me 107, I have way to many pieces of original 30's material that I want to use up , I have 14 quilts waiting for me cut out and make, castle wall, dresden plate, double z, snails trail ,and many more, even have the old original paper templates to use if I so desire,guess I am just an old traditionalist, I enjoy turn under applique too, :lol:

There should be a little key with a square end that you can use to open it. If you don't have one, see if you can find an allen wrench of the correct size to open it. If that doesn't work, you might have to see if you can get the hinges off so open it the first time. Do NOT wreck the case! Check online tosee if you can get a key from someone.

You need a key. I have one I would let you use!

check with your local sewing machine repair shop they may have a key in their junk drawer or have a way to pop the lock for you

Had to laugh!

Have you looked under the case to see if there is a key stuck there with something. >
Just a stab in the dark.
