i have a question regarding a weitek 3167 33 mhz math coprocessor
if the chip looks like this

a guy i work with has unfortunately broken off the pin denoted with a #
i'm wondering if i have an $800.00 paper weight or if it might still work
can anyone shed light on if there is a way to use this or fix it?
any chance weitek has a repair procedure?
every little bit of info helps

thanks
