I was trying to be careful but two of the two-pronged ones had a pin break off each. One's a pretty heavy one of a dragon on top of pancakes, and the top pin broke so it just swivels upside down if I try and put it in and the other is the McElroy "you know" pin which rotates so that it's turned 90 degrees.
I don't think I can replace either one of these pins so repair is my way forward.... but how?
I don't fuck around with tiny electronics enough to even justify owning a soldering iron, so, no, i don't.
you can get new pinbacks online and you can epoxy them onto the pins. Make sure it's something labelled for use on metal (like JB Weld) and clean both sides with isopropyl first.
Seconding all this! May want to give the area you're attaching it to a little sand to rough it up and give the epoxy something extra to cling to as well.
