A vintage radio site suggests Araldite as an adhesive - unless anyone

Epoxy works but do support the join with the added plate.

Thanks all. Araldite seems to be the way forward, with a strip of brass
underneath, all wafted over with blowtorch or possibly hot air gun.

JOOI, this is a pre war Bayko base, from when the product was true
Bakelite, and called Bayko Light Engineering. Bayko Light. Geddit?

And if you need to use a dot of paint to touch up the crack ISTR Vauxhall 'brazil brown' being the right colour. If you can stabilise the join very well you should be able to get the exudate as good as flat while still wet.
