Singer 66-16
I just picked up a Singer 66-16 machine from a 70 year old gal who said it was her mothers. She said it hasn't been oiled for over 40 years. It looks pretty good other than the hinge to the cabinet keeps coming out of the machine. Is there a fix or does anyone know why this is happening?? The machine runs so quiet I don't think I've ever heard one run quite that quiet., but until I get it cleaned and oiled I'll have to wait with using it. Thanks for your help

The hinge pins are also often loose at the head end. Single screw there too.
