Are the tabs supposed to protrude through the back and be bent over as with Klusons?
A look at any of the working ones should tell you if you can make the broken one look like the working one.

no tabs on these just some bit of metal that protrudes into the casing ..if no suggestions I may try epoxy at the same time I put the keystones onIMG_1925.jpeg

The tabs on the case that protrude through the case are clearly what holds it together.
There seems to be a slot in the tab as though it's peened with something to expand it and hold it in the slot.
You may need to squeeze it together so the tab comes through and peen it.
Depending on the metal (or plating), solder might stick to it.
I would try silver solder if peening didn't hold.
Maybe even both.

Oh, I've tinkered with Schaller tuners before! They're quite robust, but repairs can be tricky depending on the issue. If you're looking to fine-tune your guitar or need quick fixes, I'd recommend checking out some tutorials online. Meanwhile, if you need a hand with assignments, or essays, or online exam help UK, then visit: https://myassignmenthelp.co.uk/onlineexam. It's been a lifesaver for me during busy semesters!
yeah, right,sure okkk “Emily”
