[Boatanchors] bakelite case - repairable?

[Ron VE8RT]

  What is holding me back is that I'm confident that I do not have the
skill to do a good job on this.  The damaged area is relatively small,
but it includes an area on the bottom, a misalignment or uneven part
and it wouldn't sit flat on a surface.

  But I will give this another look over to see if could come up with a
way to hold the pieces in position while the epoxy sets.

  At the house I have some JB Weld, and a Dremel like tool which I may
need to clean up the old glue from a previous attempt to repair it.

  Thanks everyone, BTW I enjoy the photos of old and restored gear that
I see links to on this list.  A retirement (post COVID 19 I expect)
project is to clean up the hamshack, the shop area, and the
bookshelves, so that I can properly organize my station and include an
operational vintage station.
