happens. I stopped in to Michael's shop in SF and showed him the old school
repair using my oxy/acetylene torch and "Easy-Flo 45" silver brazing alloy,
not pretty but this was before we had laser welding.
I finally replaced it with a service clasp. This is why us old guys are
retired.......we can't keep up with technology.

Cheers.......
