Old Janssen upright w/ broken action bracket

JB Weld epoxy available in auto parts stores. Try gluing the bracket back
together with it, build a little extra on the sides around the breaks. It's
pretty amazing stuff.

Greetings,

 

           Last year I was given an old Janssen upright that was just fine.
It has age issues, but it plays and some beginner kid would probably like
it. I had wanted to throw a regulation on it and card and voice the hammers
and sell it. 

         However, my husband fell onto the front of it and broke the one
action bracket. Is the only way to fix this to remove it and drill holes to
put a splint on it, (on 2 sides)? Can it be repaired?  It didnt affect it's
playing, should I just continue on with regulation and sell it...for less of
course than I originally wanted to get for it?...What will/can happen if I
just dont repair it?
