I was playing back a headstock recording and kept hearing a rattle....

I checked over the Music Jam and found the collar of the swivel mount part had snapped.

I'm goin to try to glue it back..but I have no faith in crazy glues

RobertW , you probably know this already, but just in case....

If it doesn't hold well, try again by lightly sanding (if you can get there to do that) both faces to be glued, then dampen both sides before gluing (do not even bother to wipe away sanded dust). Crazy Glue type glues work best and most awesomely that way.

If that doesn't work, I'm pretty sure some PVC glue will work cuz I think PVC doesn't take to Acrylic acetate (or whatever the common chemical is in crazy glues) so it would probably be in the PVC family of "plastics." Stinks like crazy and even robs oxygen from the immediate area, but works amazing.

Just some suggestions from having had to glue all sorts of "plastics" in my old career.

did you see how small that part is?

you can see the embedded pemnut.

it is a crazy glue but not Crazy Glue.
Insta-Cure+ cyanoacrylate, gapfilling, 5-15secs. I got it at a hobby shop. I needed it to glue magnetic ring to my old Q2HD . Seems to work here as well.
