The bottom pin on my IW II is stuck. I figured out how to get the
printhead out and wiped off the gunk on the outside. I figure a tiny
dollop of some sort of solvent might loosen the pin, but what solvent?
The water in rubbing alcohol might cause rust. Stronger stuff, like
TCE, might dissolve the plastic.

Any hints from experienced hands?

Thanks in advance,

Chet.
