Hello! I have a Sanko Sound 500 and the base of the height adjuster has broken off. The entire peice-- base and threaded portion--were one solid plastic piece. Any recommendations on glue/adhesive to repair this? Model glue? Gorilla Glue? Not sure what kind of plastic it is, so your recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would try an epoxy glue myself. The sort you mix together and use quickly, then clamp together until the recommended time elapses.

I agree with an epoxy. Gorilla makes one and JB Weld is very good also. Do a Google search and see if anybody has done comparison testing of various brands.

Super glue is strong but brittle. Epoxy is strong and tough: it will take a lot more abuse without developing cracks and failing.

-bigger pain in the butt to apply, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!
