So far I have fitted a new pinch roller and cleaned up the mechanism. Next up is glueing the pin back into place and getting the mechanism back into order.
Been there, done that. Albeit on a basic model. I think I just used a self tapping screw of suitable length, which went nicely into the plastic of the base where the pin used to be!
I wouldn't bother trying to glue the pin, as it is put under some strain in use and probably wouldn't last long.
