I'm going to be travelling to a buddy's place to help him get his machine fixed up, particularly replacing some old coils on the flippers. While I'm at it, I'd like to help him, as it appears that he's broken off a pin on his main board (a Laser War machine) going to the sound board (CN21).

Is it possible to just desolder a single (broken) pin and replace just that pin, without having to replace the whole connector? If so, where would be a good spot to source replacement pins (GPE, Mouser?)?
