I  am pretty sure it's glass. You might try some of the clay type epoxy. wrap it around  and stabilize it. Otherwise you need to replace it. It's a trimmer cap.

Make sure the epoxy does not have metal in it.

I would have it running to watch to see how much the epoxy affects the tuning.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
