[Rhodes22-list] Pop top popped

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

  Could you wrap some #14 solid copper wire around it with the end of wire
holding the back of the pin from slipping out of the coil and then snake
it thru the mast slot into the hole in the slider? I said copper wire
because it is easy to bend and common, a coat hanger would work, but
harder to bend.
