    This is an easy one. Put enough pickle into a small dish to cover
    the pin. Pour in drug store peroxide. I use the glug glug method of
    measuring this. You should see small bubbles within a minute. Stand
    there and watch it. This is a very strong pickle and will etch away
    solder joints if the item is left in it too long. All of the pink
    should disappear. The pin will probably need buffing or brush
    brushing afterwards.
