The cluster is out, you won't believe what I found

thanks for the good info. I tried to solder the pins back, but the pin will not take the solder. so I removed the pins and soldered some telephone wires to each contact. now connecting the telephone wires to the plug, that will take some thought. maybe I can thread the telephone wire through the old pin, crimp it at the base and then just plug it into the existing plug. humm....

You need to scrape / clean get it CLEAN. Get yourself some electrics safe flux. NOT acid. I can never spell it, there's a product call "Nocorrode" made specifically FOR electrics. I suspect it's the same flux that is in electric flux solder (rosin flux)



What exactly are you using for an iron and solder?
