    Default pachi repair question

    hey Guys Happy Holidays,

    Have a question / problem with a pachislo mac that I gave me neice
    for xmas, just opened & setup it up today (it does play fine) but
    the joystick mount is broken (piece of plastic around where the
    joystick is attached). Now it is glue-able and I was wondering the
    best type of glue to use, any ideas ?

    thnx

    I would use an epoxy myself. If you just got it though, I'd get the seller to give you another joystick instead of gluing but if that's the only option, epoxy.
    Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.

    thanks!!!, unfortunitly its not the joystick itself and replacing it
    wouldnt help since a ring of plastic around the joystick is broken off.

    I got it from a scratch & dent sale so getting it replaced it not a posibility
    I belive it should be an easy repair, just wanted to make sure it use
    a glue that will hold.

    Was think maybe GORILLA GLUE (pretty tough stuff) thanks
    for the epoxy suggestion.

    I like gorilla glue, but when you wet it, it always seems to expand too much for "neat looking" work. Holds well, though.
