I find I have a broken connector pin in my Garmin GPSMap196.  This is for the cable that is the aircraft & computer interface. I took the thing apart and it could be easily replaced.  I called Garmin no-support and they can't sell me a $0.50 part, but they do have a flat rate repair for just $200.00. 



Would anyone happen to know where I might get my hands on such a critter?  Or anyone have one they dropped and wanted to get rid of the heap of parts?

Maybe I could repair the connector by drilling out the bad pin they epoxy in a D-sub pin.

 



Trying to attach a couple of blurry photos.

Thanks.
