For now you might be able to super glue the stem back on. For a permanent repair you need to order a new pot.

And it will be a pain in the *** to get to.

If you have a small drill bit, drill a little bit into each side of the break (try to drill in the center...straight in) and use a section of a paperclip...use a pair of diaginal cutters to mark /rough up the sides. Get some gorilla glue or other good glue and put a TINY bit into each hole, then coat one surface and put together. If you use gorilla glue be careful because it expande 3x...so a little will go a long way. This should be a perm fix. 8)

Mesa is pretty reasonable and buying something like that you want to get the stock equipment.

Just call Mesa and ask them for parts. They will probably get back with you in a day or so with a part number and a price.

I don't see it costing more than $15 shipped.
