I have a 1955 Singer sewing machine with cabinet.
The problem is that the arm that holds the top cover on my cabinet will not stay shut when I fold the cover back. I found a small spring on the floor, after I was working on my machine.
If some one knows please give me a diagram of how to fix it.

Thank you
Pris

Thanks!

I found the instruction book and it says that my machine is a Electric sewing Machine--66-16
