OK,
so the round, centre, pin connector corroded and when I separated it, two of the pins broke off. These pins are retained by an expanded flange under the board. They broke at the base of the board leaving a pin shaft in my hand and the flange in the board.
Anyone have a source for these pins?
Also, I may have damaged the copper trace, I have searched and searched the internet but I don't find a source for a repo board or an article on how to repair these two probs. Can anyone direct me to a helpful site?

So, I spent a day refastening the old pins, I have it barely engaged now and it appears to be working. Wont know until I hook it all up and run the truck.
I laid solder on the pin side to improve connectivity. I epoxied the back to improve fastening. After I did all that I find there is such a thing as electorally conducting epoxy. That would have been the ticket instead of the solder.

I found some "conducting paint" that I used on the trace, we will see how this works when we get it running.
