Bargain crystal lift. Did you get the little platform for it? Can make one if not.

Use hard (silver) solder for the brass case repair. Make sure it’s meticulously clean before going at it. An ultrasonic will help to get into any cracks.

Thanks.
No I didn't get the platform. Any tips to make one? (But first I'll try that eBay one...)
Noted for the silver brazing, it's what I have at home, but not watchmaking / jewellery graded, is that ok?
I'll clean as much as I can, no access to ultrasonic but it shouldn't be dirty in the crack as it just formed the other day when I was trying to de-bend the tab.

To make one, just copy the original. So, three pieces of sheet metal, one upper piece slotted to allow adjustment. I can measure the thickness if you like. Brass would do. But personally I’d just buy one.
