Hi Stu

You noticed that too. I have thought about that, but don't have any idea. When I get to the cleaning and repairs I'll look at things more closely and see if I can figure it out. The hole was obviously intentionally made for some purpose.

I had thought it might be to retain the match cord by threading it thru, but not sure if the diam of the hole is sufficient.
