any creative suggestions for a missing part?

[Harry Stone]

I'm missing the "guts" of one of my yellow test point connectors for my K2.
 The yellow shell is there, but not the metal insert that connects to the
probe and is soldered to the board.

From experience, missing parts take about a week to arrive here.  Anyone
have any suggestions on how to work around this so I don't lose more time
waiting on parts?

Thanks!

ps - I know the best suggestion is for me to inventory the parts I have
left so I don't have to wait again, and I'm doing that now.

Piece of about #22 wire, bend the end and wrap it around the wire, solder
the straight end into the board?

Mike I think you read what little mind I have left.  ;)  I was just sitting
here working on it and that's what I'll do.  Thanks!

Henry,

If this is a new K2, send an email to [hidden email] and request a
replacement.
In the meantime, use whatever substitute means you wish to substitute
for the test point at TP3 - that one is used the most seldom.  Put the
good ones at TP1 and TP2 which will be used more often.
