Not sure about the warranty but the brass plate/disc is not soldered on. It is placed on the screw then the portion extending through the plate/disc is peened so the shaft is basically mushroomed out to keep the plate/disc from falling off.
Place the plate/disc back on the stem then use a very small ball peen hammer or something like a rivet setting tool or round end punch to flare the stem so the plate/disc is locked back in place.
That makes sense flipp - thanks! It looks like the flared part broke off but maybe I can get what's left to flare out..
EDIT: Here's what I was talking about
