Unrelated: I wanted to try the H/L pair chips in a different socket. I chose to remove the BASIC chip and try that one. Upon removal, I noticed the BASIC chip had a bent pin. I figured whoever put it in must not have paid close attention. I put a H/L set (Lotus) in there to check it, and noticed that it bent the same pin on the L chip of the Lotus set. Argh! So I removed the chip and under inspection under a magnifier, I can see that the corresponding hole in the boards "socket" was fouled with something, causing any chip put in there to get that pin pushed up and bent. Yikes. Very careful work under the magnifier cleared the obstruction. I straightened the pin on the BASIC chip and put it back in and it went in fine (and works fine). However, soon as I touched the pin on the L Lotus chip, it broke off (right where the pin becomes narrow). So, I get to try and carefully reattach that pin leg to the chip. Can anyone share broken chip leg repair techniques? I can't attach a tiny segment of wire as a brace - the "socket" on the board is the type where each pin gets it's own socket so a thicker leg probably won't go in.
