I have an old lamp, no idea of the age but it had a cotton electric cord so quite old. I am trying to re-wire it. I disassembled the lamp completely and was able to cut off the cord at the base of the lamp and remove the switch, but the remaining parts of the electrical cord will not come out of the shaft between the switch and the base (see photo). Any idea how to get it out? I tried pulling it but it won't budge.
