Yes he is across oceans but he can do the work you require. the question now is how far is your resolve to have the frame fixed? The easiest way is to buy another frame.
I reached out to Larry. Good news/bad news - theyāre fixable, but they would almost certainly require a repaint, which kinda defeats the purpose of having them repaired.
I may just display them as is. Thatās abstract art, isnāt it?
I attempted to repair these last night, and as of now, theyāre holding up. I followed a process I saw in another thread, which included drilling into both orbitals and inserting a thin piece of metal to provide structural integrity. After that, I used JB weld plastic bonder to bond the fractured pieces together. This was tricky bc of where the frame was severed. I tried to be as precise as possiblE in order to get the wrap of the frame correct. The frame did accept lenses this morning, but I didnāt run it through any real stress tests. Iām gonna let the glue settle longer and Iāll update this thread in the coming days
These are the materials I used: -1/16 drill bit -JB weld plastic bonder -sand paper -some sort of thin metal, like a paper clip (I used a thin nail bc I get it would provide better support)
