Very good! I recently broke a corner pin of an Agnus myself. Not completely off, but it's very, very loose. Got help soldering it so it's ok for now. But I might need to do a more permanent fix and it's good to see how you did it!

Wow!  If I tried something like that then I'd end up with a 6" hole striaght through the motherboard.

You better remove the circuit from the motherboard first to avoid damaging it. But to be honest, I damaged the pin while I removed the circuit. Shouldn't have touched it at all it seems...

I did use a PLCC extractor. But it only lift the circuit at the corner. And it was really stuck. I think the tool and the socket could be better designed. Oh well...
