Top Joint Repair

I purchased a 1921 Pan-American (Conn) student model. After changing a few pads and adjusting the bumper-corks, turns-out this is a very fine instrument.... well, I wouldn't use it for the Strauss Concerto, but its tuning and response is great.

However, the reed-chimney (or whatever you call that metal sleeve the reed goes into) is coming out! Only part way, but no matter how much cork grease I use, the chimney comes out easily.

I don't want to spend a fortune on repairing this instrument which I use for lunch-time outdoor practising. There must be a way to just glue it back in. Any ideas? I was thinking of epoxy.

Thanks.
