Hi Guy.  Will you expound a little on your suggestion of using a guitar =
pick or cocktail stirrer.  Are you suggesting to use one of these=20
instead of a finger or thumb nail to flip the jack, OR (you explain, I'm =
drawing a blank on this one) please.
Many thanks from all on the continued suggestions on my initial post on =
this subject.
Regrds, Gordon Holley

  All good comments, and I'll add that it's quite often easier to "FEEL" =

  Just another 2=A2
