Cabinet repair

My RCA Victor 16X2 table radio took a tumble. Clean break, 2 pieces. Any suggestions as to what glue I should use to join the bakelite cabinet back together. Also need to touch up the painted Ivory surface.
Thanks,
Steve

The sum of all parts

Sorry I neglected to update. The crazy glue worked very well. The two large pieces and several tiny shards are rejoined once again. I filled the cracks with, of all things spackle, lightly sanded, and at this writing have a coat of grey primer on the cabinet. The next step is to paint with antique white enamel, which most closely matches the original ivory. The chassis and dial glass were undamaged.
