Watch it with the epoxy. I was ruthlessly vilified and have subsequently many
times suffered the hurt occasioned by the slings and arrows of cruel remarks
about my once epoxying the foot back onto a T Power Control 1. Let me say here
and now, for one and all, that, contrary to the assumptions of some that I
slathered both parts until they dripped and oozed noxious goo, I very sparingly
applied a thin layer of this miracle adhesive so as to secure the parts
together in such a tenuous manner that I would bet all my OM-4Ti's against a
single broken OM-10 that the party of the first part and the party of the
second part will part company, if attacked, at least as readily, if not more
so, than would the same portions of either of the other two T Power Control
1's, two T-32's, two T-20's, or the F-280 I have that are still screwed
together, pending the day they may need to be epoxied.
Go easy with the goop and all should be well. Humpty-Dumpty can be put back
together again!
