Can you just probe around it with a piece of wire. Some real stiff steel leader might work. My favorite is the core of an outboard shift/throttle cable. |

It is in a hole in a cabinet and more "square" than most of the new ones. If it breaks I will probably end up reconfiguring the cabinet. Tiki bar builders can do stuff like that ;-) |
