[Rhodes22-list] Help! My tongue is stuck!

[Kip Hansen]

Judy,

Check to see if the guide is bent (the square hole that the tongue 
slides through).  Doesn't seem reasonable that you should have trouble 
with the entire length of the tongue unless the problem is in the guide 
(like it may be slightly compressed,  out of square from getting banged 
on something, or have rust scale in it making the passageway smaller).
