One of the spring loaded pins is stuck in the retracted position and won't pop out. Any suggestions for getting it to pop out as usual.

try a dust extractor with a narrow nozzle or a strong magnet? the base is aluminum, so that might work.

Thanks
I couldn't see a hole on the back but I will look harder
I think my problem was also due to having to suddenly re-bore an already glued mortise that wasn't quite deep enouh

yeah, glue or pitch, I've had that happen once or twice. Not a super common problem fortunately.

My domino has paddles, so I'm not 100% sure of the pin version, but doesn't the whole pin/spring assembly unscrew from the fence casting so you can clean it up?

Well, I got it working. Had to pull the motor/cutter assembly off and remove the extractor port to get at it, but a small Allen wrench did indeed succeed - I also spritzed some WD040 on the pin and twisted it around a while and all seems well.
Thanks again
