Delta 300 kitchen faucet

[Higgledy]

My kitchen sink has a 1996 Delta 300 single handle faucet, which I love. However, the pin the ball rides on is bent. Can I replace the pin or is the faucet toast? If it is toast, which faucet do you guys like for durability? Thank you.

You CANNOT replace the pin, so if it becomes loose when you straighten it, the faucet is toast. I have no problem using the new Delta faucets, although I am not compulsive about it.
