Following on from the super glue and baking soda repair trick posted yesterday;

On the same tuning control drum the little hook for the cord was snapped off.

I managed to repair it using a paper clip by drilling a small hole (1mm diameter) through the stump (straight through the drum) then pushing a pin made from a paper clip bent into the right shape into the hole.

This was held in place on the front with Bluetac and runny super glue fed in to the hole from the backside.

Once set the Bluetac was removed and a little blob of glue dropped on to the topside for good measure.

Pictures attached.
