Question Radiator overflow question

Ok, I have a problem. On one of my vehicles I have noticed a small amout of water and anti freeze lately after driving it but couldn't locate the leak. Yesterday I found it easily as the darn tube fell out. The small tin tube in the filler neck that the overflow hose hooks to fell out. After cleaning and brushing it, I see that it has a very small spot of what looks like solder on the top part. I don't know if this is the way they fasten in why it can't be put back and re-soldered. I called a local radiator shop and was told that I have to buy a new radiator. That is asinine to have to spend $400 dollars for a dam 4 cent piece. I know some of you have ran into this before, so what did you do to get that piece to stay in?

Any suggestions?

Ron
