Hi Ric, happy 2003, here's a picture of the oblong pin, it goes 2cm into the
plateholethread and
goes down on the pinblockwood with 2cm. Takes time to restring since you
need to turn the new pin way down
plate and pinblock before putting your  wire in.

 BTW Nice reading for me on the last PTG Journal 'Handshakes Across the
Atlantic'
