Bah !

You can do it with a TCP and a fine but hot (800) tip. Remember the old one is junk so
need to save that, cut all the pins and remove individually. Clean up with Soder-Wick
and isopropyl alcohol and solder in the new part.

Thanks to an exraordinarily generous offer from Tom Jancauskas of
Imedia Recording in IL, a solution has been found. Thanks again,
Tom.
