There is nothing square left = on the pin fragment still in the plate. It is in the very corner, where = strut meets strut next to the stretcher. Hacksawing a slot may be = difficult. I'm looking for advice as to the best way to get this out. = This isn't an urgent situation, since the tech that was involved = in the breakage has said he'd get it out, and get a new pin and string = in, but I have my doubts that that will occur, so I'd like to be ready = with a solution or two should I be called on to deal with this.=20 Thanks in advance,=20 Dave Stahl=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
