WTB: Pin for Orthophonic tonearm support bracket

I just bought a 4-3 that has a fairly solid tonearm support bracket(surprise!), but it has no pin. Anybody have a spare pin they want to sell? I know someone is making new brackets and pins, but I have no idea if he'll sell the pins separately...
Thanks in advance!

Get an appropriately sized old/dull drill bit, cut it to length, then grind the tip to the proper tip shape. Ta-daa!

Sadly I do not have the tools to do that kind of work. I emailed the guy who makes the new brackets and he was able to sell me a pin. Of course, once I took the tonearm bracket out from the machine to clean the wood properly, the pin fell out from in between the tonearm and bracket, so now I have 2!
