Title: Beau plug repair question
Post by: frenchmarky on March 08, 2013, 02:12:11 AM
I've got a busted-in-half female beau plug in my Bally 873 that I'm going to attempt repairing with superglue or epoxy.

--  Any recommendations on what would be the best adhesive to use on this plastic?  Not sure what kind it is but very hard like bakelite but I'm pretty sure it's a newer type than that.  I'd prefer superglue since don't want any excess stuff getting squeezed into the pins and holes.

--  Are the female pins in these connectors the push, snap and locked type like a molex?   I need to know that before I glue it since there are two or three pins that totally come loose when I take the broken halves apart.  I'm hoping I can leave those pins out of the housing, glue the sections together and let dry/cure, and then simply push the loose pins back into the housing.
