My fix for Agnus :)

Thought I would share a little project I did.

I am sure that many of us have unfortunately broken off a pin on one of are beloved custom chips some which are pretty hard to come by anymore.

I did recently and would like to share some photos of the fix I did.

I machined down until I barely touched the lead that was embedded and then carefully soldered a pin to it.

Works great now thank goodness.

One more reason to invest in a proper chip-puller and stop prying with those screwdrivers...

IMHO, I think those chip pullers are more problems then they're worth.....never use'em.  They alway manage to nick the corner of the chip no matter how careful you are.

I usually pull the MB and desolder the 2 empty holes near the middle of the chip and use a couple of small nails inserted head first to gently press the chip out.  Works great.
