Hello,
I am looking for some input in terms of what kind of repair this is. I placed all the parts in the photo and I hope its clear what happened. The Pin (screw?) is broken and there is still part of the pin stuck inside the round part that broke off the valve stem. I don't have a lot of experience with this sort of thing and I'm not sure of the names of all the parts. Would I need new parts installed or could this be repaired? Thanks for the input. This is a Miraphone CC 4 valve from the 1970's. It's that 1st valve that's broken.
Steve.

Thanks guys! And a tip of the hat to Matt Dillon! Found me a scrap part off an old horn. I survive to play another day.

Oh Jeez Loise! 
I didn’t want to take the trip all the way down to Dillon’s but I got a last-minute call from a neighbor to take him to EWR so that’s how it ended up. Got lucky I guess. 
Considering the alternatives it was definitely the best play.
