Re: [SPELLBOUND-L] My theremin got Maggied

David,

You should be able to glue the wood together with white (Elmer's)  
glue.  Be sure that the glue has not been stored where it could have  
frozen then thawed out.  If in doubt, purchase new glue.  You will  
need to clamp it down -- if you have a friend who is a woodworker or  
model builder that would be a good resource.  When you clamp the panel  
back to the cabinet, use a damp cloth to wipe away any excess glue.

As far as the electrical part of the work, if it is just one wire that  
broke you should be able to resolder it.

Hope this info is useful.  Sorry to hear that your Theremin is damaged.

-- Kevin
