At your own risk, but those steel balls ("[almost] always" - to "cover" myself) are screwed in and THEN soldered in. I can (["almost] always") get them out if I grab hard enough and turn...The solder pops loose, and then they unscrew. The thread size at the hobby store is 4-40. Often, the 4-40 hobby shop balls will screw right into the Mira-metric threads. Why not get a good repair guy near you to help? He can break your horn with more self-assurance.

Now, about your choice of a title for your post...
