Location: New Hampsha | Some notes to other bottom feeders about repairing cracked and holed cases:
If you're dealing with a cracked case, use ABS/PVC plumbing cement - it bonds the case plastic very well.
If you have missing material, try some hot melt glue - the higher temp material bonds well, and fills holes pretty nicely.
Krylon makes a great paint for plastics that touches up the scuffs and patches and glue spots. The black works well - I fixed two cases today and they look a zillion times better than when I started.
Just finished reviving the Anniversary dead unit I bought (It came out GREAT!! :cool: !) and I am starting the '93 Collector's replacement top. Cover me - I'm going in! :eek: |

Location: Illinois | I suspect by 'Bottom Feeder', you mean someone who would rather fix a broken item rather than toss it and replace with new in order to keep said broken item out of the landfill / backyard or to save money or both. Then call me "Catfish Carp." :p
Good Save Mitzdawg! :D
I've got an aforepostedabout Applause AE33 waitin' in the wings. Between garden work, yard work, auto repair and work-work, I hope to get to it this month. I'm still puzzling :confused: out how to force the belly busted top back to it's proper shape, but I'll get there.
As far as the pending work 'Dawg, "I got your six." |

The best is the third one. Fiberglass very well too.
