Thanks for the link Siggi.
George-
looks like the tip (point) base was left in the hole? Is the tip rear intact when it was removed? or did probe arrive in this condition?
I see a few options,? removal of material most likely will mean removal of the socket then work in a lathe/mill,? possible replacement with a new/modified/socket from a IC socket, I would have to have it in hand to see what else comes to mind, but it looks doable. just time consuming.
?hmmm i wonder if a water jet might be used??? Is the "broken wire" "loose" in the hole???
oh yes- resistors a cap then directly to the FET, look at the schematics....definite removal to prevent damage to the FET(s)

I have added three more close ups of the tip socket in the Photos folder

Someone asked me in an email if I could put a link. I wish I knew how. I
don't think I can link to a pic that I've posted. I am new again to
Tekscopes. I don't know how. But you will find almost 20 good pics of a
P6202 Fet probe that will hopefully help me or someone else in future deal
with a damaged tip socket.
The socket seems to have a U tab that straddles the end of the PCB. It is
probably hard soldered in a jig. Likely the socket is closed at the bottom
to prevent wicking. The small teflon? washer is slightly loose on the body
of the socket but doesn't come off. I can see what I think is the FET and a
couple of surface mount resistors? one of which is adjacent to the solder
pad for the tip socket.
Pics show an object, probably a broken off piece of wire, round in a
square hole. Too small and too deep to grab.
I don't know how to deal with this.
