I have just had my old Hanimex 1500RF slide projector out to view
some old 35mm slides and had to fix it.
The top casing is held onto the base by about 6 screws that screw up
into moulded pillars in the top casing. Most of these have split and
no lionger can accept a screw.

I am left wondering how to keep the top attached to the bottom. Any
ideas?


Duct tape.

No, PVC electrical tape stretched slightly before fitting. Either
around the seam, or a few strips perpendicular to it.


It doesn't stick well to the "grained" plastic.
