Grrr... just snapped a CF slot pin

How did you do it? Basically only one pin has snapped. If I ordered the Wurth part could I just extract the one pin and just solder one point carefully?

Yes that's exactly it.

Go careful... Its micro surgery and make sure you create no shorts on the pins

inMusicsales have now emailed me with a UK price of £44.10 and even a UK number to order from, so that's still going to be a good saving over mpcstuff.com

Probably solved it seems.

Will save the old part and look at how I can fix the broken pin at my leisure so I'll have a spare to keep on hand.
