The first major problem is finding a way to repair the ebonite panel. It seems that there's not a lot of effective adhesives available for this. Mainly due to the ebonite actually being a type of hard rubber that contains a considerable amount of sulpher. My first thoughts were super glue or epoxy resin but my internet searching suggests that they are not suitable. I do have a possible third option that is called 'Stixall' but I've yet to check the manufacturers application/specification data. If no go it looks like making a replacement panel perhaps out of black acrylic, I don't know at this stage.
