whomever tried to fix didn't seem to realize that, and just tried to lock it into place with crazy glue. i don't think they clamped it, and they seem to have been conservative with the glue; in hindsight, that's a good thing, as it would have been impossible to get off had they dabbed enough glue in. like, they just put two or three blobs...
the result is somewhat of a mess, but i think i should be able to clean it where i need it.
so, i need to buy glue and clamps.....let's see if i can do it for less than $30....
