I got some great scroll saw books for less than £4 on ebay, you just have to ignore the vastly overpriced books, 'awesome books' and 'greener books' were good for me. Should you save a search on fleabay it will email you when books/mags are listed Good hunting

How about drilling a new hole, to replace the old hole, and grind the old pin flush. An old allen key can be made to suit as a driver perhaps, or better still a twist drill shank ground to length needed. Good luck
