I'm wondering what's the best way to put a bakelite plug that's broken in two back together? I'm leaning toward Superglue or epoxy but wasn't sure about the vapors from either of those. Does anyone make replacement plugs on demand?

Actually, a Google search turned up a technique that seems to have worked fine. A 24 pin, dual row strip had fractured crosswise into an 18 pin and a 6 pin piece. The previous owner simply plugged them in separately, which was fine, but did not suit my need to clean things up

So basically the two pieces were fit back together at the seam, which made a nice fit, and thin superglue was flowed in. I carefully clamped the pieces together lightly endwise and waited for it to dry. Once dry, I cut off a sliver of old, used flipper link and bonded that to the top between the pins with the superglue. Better than new!

I'll try and grab a photo when I open it back up tomorrow but you have the gist of it. I untied the wiring from the end of the bakelite plug with the notches in it and spread the wires carefully. I then fit the plug together, it fit well, and flowed some thin superglue into the seam. I then took a thin sliver of old flipper link and superglued that between the wires on the top side of the plug, running lengthwise.
