Cant find reverse on my Moss 5 speed

I am new to the site today. Hoping to get some insight into a tranny problem. I bought a kind of rough but running 78 mgb. I was told it had a moss 5 speed tranny and when I drove it home it shifted well and it seemed fine. Please don't laugh too hard but I never had to put it into reverse before buying it and you guessed it, I can't find reverse now after bringing it home. The seller of course acted as though he thought it was o.k. and was not the type to be very helpful or make it right. I have tried about every position with the stick to find reverse even pulling up or pushing down while trying all of the normal locations for reverse and can"t find it. The car was probably sitting for a while, but all foreward 5 gears work very well. I am not a great mechanic and it probably sounds like wishful thinking, but I am hopeful reverse is there and I am just not doing something right. Would appreciate any help. thanks, Wayne

Can the guy who sold you the car find reverse? I'm pretty sure it's left of first and forward on the Ford T-9 gearbox that Moss sells for the MGB.
