loose pins

[Wallace Wilson]

Paul, you might use CA glue repairs (see recent posts) or epoxy.  I
prefer CA.  Different folks have different application methods.  Are
there cracks visible in the pinblock if you look from underneath with
action out?  are they all in a row - the row farthest away from you?
