[NSRCA-discussion] OS 1.40 Case

[John Konneker]

When I was little (OK no smart remarks!) I remember seeing my Dad remove 
small broken taps by putting a pin (maybe small drill bits) down each of the 
flutes and then while holding them (maybe with plyers) and turning the 
broken tap out.
It was a VERY long time ago but I remember it...
Hope that helps.
