[TechAssist] Re: Boy this is a Long Shot :-)

    We have seen this problem at least 6 times, maybe more.  We actually
broke one in our shop.  It simply broke when we lifted it.  We were lucky to
have an old junker that had a matching back.  We know now to be extra
careful with any Sharp that comes in.
    We had good luck with a set that only broke in a few places.  We used
Locktite epoxy ( has a resin and hardener).  Good luck!
