Removing light bulb on FW 221
When I tried to remove the OLD light bulb in FW, it broke. I was able to remove all the glass part, but the metal part is still in the light fixture. How do I remove it? I know I have to push and twist, but there's nothing to hold on to. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I once read a hint for a similar situation -- the advice was to use a piece of apple to ensure all the glass was caught up in the apple (and maybe provide some lubrication?) Not sure if it would work -- I think the needle nosed pliers would be more reliable!

I had this happen recently on one of my Kenmore machines and still have not gotten it out. Please let me know if you have any success, I have tried all of the above suggestions with no luck. Right now I have a book light attached to my machine for light along with my ott light sitting on the desk by my machine, but the lighting is just not the same.
