Heh heh heh - yup.

Resolver the entire final compartment.  Particularly the rivets through the
board.  In fact, solder-suck the rivets clean, then put a small wire like a
staple through it, then solder it to the contact traces on both ends.

Scott Malcom - MTS [mts at toledotel.com] is a jewel - E-mail him if it doesn't
work.  He is a mighty good tech and his prices are very reasonable.

I have no affiliation with MTS except being a VERY satisfied customer.

Good luck.
