G'Day Robb,

I improved one, the first step was to repair cracks on the flat area on the back of the socket with JB Weld. Then I wrapped cotton thread, whetted in JB Weld, around the socket several times. This should be done with the ball removed to get better tension on the joint but makes it hard to get the ball back in.

Hope this helps,

I thought of maybe throwing a small bit of chewing gum into mine, not sure if that would work, but hey it fixed the Yellow Submarine for The Beatles!
