Broken TP

[Marcel Carey]

I've had this happen to me once and the only way I found was to drill it
out. I started with a 1/8" drill bit and gradually worked my way to bigger
bit until the tuning pin was almost gone. I then used a (I don't know the
english word but I will guess) an extractor. This extractor will only work
when there is almost no pin left in the hole.

List,

Anyone have a good way to extract a broken tuning pin
on a new Baldwin Hamilton? There's about 1/4"+ still
extending beyond the plate but it's EXTREMELY tight
in the block!

I've never had this happen to me and actually, this
information is for another tech. Any brilliant ideas
out there? Thanks.

Avery
