Remove the part of the pin that is still in the board. Push the pin in from the back side. Insert a small nail that is large enough to expand the pin to fit tight in the board. The nail must be cut so that it is flush with the back of the board. Solder the front (pin) side of the pin to the board.
Jim, great idea and thank you. Sounds like that might be a plan i will try.

I've done it before. The trick, as is usually the case with soldering, is to clean off the oxidation so you have clean, fresh metal to solder to. The cleaning can be done with Scothbright, sandpaper, steel wool, a good wire brush, etc. Chemicals usually leave a residue that cause problems.

I had a pin break on my 65s dash years ago.I took a connector from an old fog light fit it in the harness and had enough sticking out so it contacted the board where the pin used to be.It touched the board and worked for probally 20 years till I replaced the dash.Rocky
