Singer Machine Won't Sew in Reverse Reverse mode?

My Singer 247 won't go into reverse stitching. I took off the knobs, but cannot see why it won't work. Nothing seems broken. I oiled it. Any ideas?

I would make sure no thread or fabric is jamming it. You could also have a broken gear or lever, and you might need a repairman.

Here is a suggestion from a fellow sewer:

Not necessarily a broken gear. I just fixed my Kenmore 385 that had quit sewing in reverse. The mechanism just froze up from lack of use. Take the bottom off the machine to expose the mechanism, push the reverse button several times while studying the workings.

If you do not use the machine much, it is likely just froze up. You have nothing to lose by checking it out.
