Hi, Jut got a pb 1400cs fully working off ebay for �22 but it has stress cracks which I didn't know about but half-expected. Am I right in thinking that Ambroid pro weld is the right thing for the job?
I'm in the UK so may have to hunt around for it though http://www.gluelines.co.uk/ambroid.htm seem to have it. Perhaps I'll try a modeling shop. Likely to have it? Any help appreciated! Jacob

I don't know about Ambroid Pro weld it may work very well.
But I do know that radio shops in the USA carry a cement which melts or " welds " plastic cases together. Sorry to say I can't remember the name. Is there such a store as Philcap or a Radio Shack where you are located ?
You could also experiment inside the case first with the following
Go to a model shop and get a liquid plastic cement. ( not Testor's it's not " hot " enough )
OR you could go to an auto paint supplier and get MEK ( methyl ethyl ketone ) and mix it with acetone. These are the basic ingredients of plastic cement. The ratio of the mix determines how much it melts the plastic and how fast it sets.
Use any of these in a well ventilated area. Away from fire or flame.
This will be a permanent repair and can be finished in ways to make it invisible.
