I'd NOT use super-glue, sheesh!! It amazes me how people think this
stuff is a cure-all. It gets brittle, outgasses, and I'd not let it
anywhere near any beautiful Elecraft product! I'd use J-B Weld, which
is a very strong epoxy glue and should make the core good as new. 2nd
choice is just regular old 2-part epoxy glue. 73 de Alex NS6Y
