Hello all and greetings from New Zealand, my M34 did a whoopsie and fell off the desk to the floor and its neck socket has come loose inside....I can actually pull it out and its not damaged....but how do I get it back into the joint inside the body? Any suggestions? Cheers

If you can without too much issue, try rolling the skin down a bit so you can possibly see the socket. Or use some form tool to pry open the neck of the skin a bit. Once you place the neck joint into its socket you’ll have to squeeze the socket closed using a needle-nose pliers.

The other technique would be a bit more invasive. You might have to slice the back of the neck with a sharp blade to get access to the socket to do the same as I mentioned above. Then you’ll have to glue the new seam with some TPE adhesive closed.

Thank you very much, I will attempt to do what you say as it seems to be the only way to fix him.
