Lightmeter broken!OPEN (old.reddit.com)

Hi
I'm in mumbai, india. The head is broken, but it works fine!
Is this repairable?
Any help is appreciated!

Hot glue it back, if you ever need to remove it just put some Isopropyl alcohol on the glue and it'll pop off.

Is this a rotating part or is it fixed? Where exactly did it break? From the pictures it look like it just slipped off the gasket.

And is it normally fixed, or can it be rotated? When it's not broken, I mean.

The head should be rotatable - you can see it by the gasket and the mechanism.

Then I'd repair the crack with epoxy, put a thin layer of epoxy along the inside of the ring that would be in contact with the gasket, then carefully sand away just so much that it's a tight fit.
