I had a similar problem with an old case from the 70's so I went to the
local hobby shop first (as I suspect that a hardware store would sell me
something more general) - after all hobby shops are the plastic experts -
they sold me this. Fantastic and has heaps of other uses - I even used it to
repair the broken support on a monitor - it was cast aluminium.

Call me odd, but my absolute, top favorite computer is my MicroVAX in a
BA123 chassis. If the house were burning, that would be the one computer I
would try to retrieve. Sadly, last night, the daughter snapped the corner
off the louvers on the top left of the chassis. Unless some kind sole has a
replacement part, I plan on gluing the pieces back on. My question is,
cyanoacrylate or epoxy?
