You will probably just have to remove the old socket and replace it with a new one. If it is the old scanbe socket, it should be done anyway.

i think anything you use to extract the pin will damage the socket, and make things worse. you may be able to sneak a new chip in with the old pin still in there. i would try that , then replace the socket if thats a no go

Your only hope to saving the socket is prying off the housing CAREFULLY . Remove the busted leg piece and put the socket frame back on. If it is a RN labeled socket, you should be able to get the housing off without disturbing the pins.

Likely to encounter problems trying this, but worth a shot since your socket is damaged already.

Be careful!

Put a credit card down on the playfield before you start prying your way around the socket frame - you don't want to f up the circuit board.

If the socket contacts are white or grey, they are shot anyway.

Is a strong magnet out of the question?

Maybe worth a try.

try a small needle either side of pin worked for me when a pin broke on mine

If you can catch a little of the pin you can use a razor knife to pry the leg out. It works, done it many many times.
I wouldnt pull the socket housing off and try to reinstall it. That socket will never be reliable again.

not sure why no ones just turned the board upside down and used a pin or similar to open that hole of the socket so the leg falls out?
