    Yes I had same problem finding and the two last recommendations are correct. Someone here on ESR was very kind to give me a pin, shipped for free!

    Re soldering, a jewelry REPAIR shop can solder it back on. Got mine done for $25 I think. If I am not mistaken its silver solder. The jewelers wanted more $$

    Mike's correct. I bought one of these and the pins look identical. Now I just need to figure out how to get the suckers off cleanly...
