[photo-3d] Nimslo flash problem

One of my Nimslos is having a little problem with the flash.
It's easy to see what the problem is. The hot shoe has become
loose and unless one presses down on the flash while taking 
the picture, the natural leverage of the flash wanting to 
flop one direction or another pulls the contacts away from
the connector on the camera. There are no mounting screws for
the shoe, it must be mounted from the bottom somehow. A little
dab of epoxy looks like it would do the trick, but I am 
reluctant to take this permanent a solution if there is another
more common way to tighten things up. Has anyone else run into
this problem? Suggestions?

Is there a Nimslo repair manual out there somewhere? I have 3
of them.
