Hi everyone. I recently received a PowerBool 165c from a swap-list member,
who said it was in quite a bad condition after a fall at his house. (Yes, I
knew that when I bought it 8-).) It turns out to be in pretty good
condition, except for a few things, which I've mostly rectified, but this
remains:

The display part bezel is intact, but the screws that hold it to the back of
the display part & the hinge, as well as the screws that hold the hinge to
the back, were torn out of their moorings -- the metal screw anchors are
intact & present, but much of the plastic moldings that the anchors are held
crumbled in the fall, & most of the pieces are missing. So the display hinge
can't be moved down (after I moved it up to examine it, & the bezel won't
stay on.

I was wondering if there is some kind of epoxy out there that I can use to
re-build the moorings that hold the screw anchors?

Alternately, could I drill holes all the way through the back plastic where
the anchors were & put longer screws in, with nuts on them to keep the
structure tight? It looks as if it would need some sort of reinforcement...
Thanks in advance,

-- 

Bill
