You could literally use alligator clips on either side or solder a wire to bypass it for the time being. I'd recommend replacing it if it's bad, though.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not nearly as experienced as some people here.

A common repair mans trick was to just twist the leads together... replacement is better but not strictly necessary in most sets.
