Is there a fix if the tabs are broken or wore out on a 462 socket to hold down heat sink and CPU fan? I have a AMD athlon 1800 cpu . The tabs on either side are ok. Any sugestions or a new mother board?

Are all three tabs broke or just the center one ? If the outer ones are stiil good, you'll need a HSF that utilizes all three lugs. Something like an SLK-800

Thermaltake Volcano 9 uses all 3 on both sides also.
