I just picked up a Pac man that had been converted to a Pacman plus and it had this strange Bally Enhancement kit attached to it. I went to take it off the socket and one of the pins decided to stay inside the socket on the board. It will no longer boot up. What is the best way to fix broken pins? Or is there a way at all?

Best off just getting a 40-pin dip crimp connector and replacing the one on the cable already... or just throw away the 'enhancement kit', drop in a Z80, and burn the de-crypted ROMs.
 
Never mind, there was an orange adapter stuck on it. I took the orange thing off and unveiled a new set of pins. Its working again. Thanks!
