Ides to repair cinema display
I'm looking for ideas to replace/repair the third leg on the older style cinema display (lcd) besides buying the replacement part.

a polycarbonate panel, a cutter for it, something to smooth the edges, and epoxy.
Thanks for clicking.

Putty epoxy should be able to rebuild a broken leg.
A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
Hope and change could be forever.

Re: Ides to repair cinema display
I know you don't have the leg, but here is a guide someone created when the leg broke off of their display, and how they opened the case of the display to rebuild the attachment. Maybe you can make something yourself.

Unfortunately, I don't think you are going to get cheap and pretty. I think you're stuck with cheap or pretty. Sorry!

Bi-component epoxy glue is very good stuff. 5$.
... and then I read that you didn't have the leg.
