It is easy to repair (leg I assume).
Simply get a turned pin socket. Cut off one pin. Unsolder the broken
pin, and clean the pad. Put the bare new pin in the appropriate hole
and place over the sH pins, and solder the new pin on with a fine
soldering iron. The socket does not even need to be 40 pin or even as
wide. It could even be a SIL strip.
