Tritronics doesn't have a parts list for your model.Shows the model but says
'part search unsuccessful'.
Don't think a picture will do much good,as physical size/location of the
holes would be
hard to determine.
Acetone seems to be holding it.
The set is back together and moved to a cart where it is playing now.
Not much faith in it holding though,as I don't have much faith in the plastic
that did NOT break.
thanks
