Teletype Cover..

You might be able to repair it. It won't look as good, but it'll protect the TTY (and prevent you from getting caught up in the works!). First find a solvent for the plastic. Dichoromethane (methylene chloride) is often suitable. It should soften the surface of the plastic if brushed on (try this inside, obviously). Then put the hits together a few at a time, and run a brush dipped in the solvent along the cracks. This will stick them together, Take a pice of fabric. Cotton seems to work well (handkerchief, old shirt, etc). When I needed this, my mother draged me into a sewing shop, dived into a box of offcuts and pulled out something costing 50p (IIRC). It worked fine, and I've got plenty left for other jobs. Anyway, cut a piece of this fabric to cover the inside of the broken area, with an overlap onto good, unbroken, parts of the cover. Put it in place and brush it with the solvent. Press it into the softened plastic. Let it all dry. The result is normally pretty strong. -tony
