Singer Sewing Machine Stuck in Reverse?

My model 6235 Singer sewing machine only sews in reverse. I have taken it somewhat apart, but it looks like the reverse button raises the reverse lever, but the lever will not come back down unless I push it down. I have oiled the moving parts but it seems pretty stiff. Any ideas?

There are a couple of tips online that suggest that you use a hair dryer on warm setting to blow off and heat the switch. This loosens up the switch and removes built up debris!

Hair dryer did not work, it seems to take a fair amount of force to push down link to go in reverse. I loosened screw. Oiled joints?
