Looking for someone to fix my Filco

The stem on my Filco MJ2 'u' key came off and my efforts have only made things worse. I've never soldered before, and don't have the equipment. I'll look into some local repair shops first, but I'd be interested to see what help can be offered here.

I can supply a switch, or if you have spares, I'll make up the price.

It's uses Cherry Brown, and I'm located in UK.

might I ask what efforts those were if not soldering?
And really, keyboard fanatics should know soldering. Heck, everyone should. Easy as pie. Almost.

Well, I followed the guide on Geekhack to get a stem back in without soldering, but the stems changed from MJ1 to MJ2 so my efforts were futile.
