Rescued, washed, pampered and put back to work. Just used my fingers to ever-so-lightly, barely a fraction, tiny-itty-bit of a bend, a smidgen of a fraction to one of the prongs. Felt it being more snug sliding into the outlet.
Do you realize that this thing is about 60 or maybe even 70 years old. Don't mak'em like they used to!
Thank you obillo, I had doubts about tossing it and your push was just what I needed to rescue it. Garbage pick-up is this morning. Nick of time!
