I've done this type repair in the past using Titebond and a strong thread
wrapped around the hammer head, but not an entire set.  Other than that,
this might be an excellent opportunity to experiment with thicker viscosity
CA glues.

Not trying to change your mind, but you would prosper more by replacement
if the CA trick is not completely successful.  Primarily because it's a
spinet size action.
