It's basically worthless now, unless someone out there needs a near new base, but very unlikely as they are too recent to have rusted out and this very problem with bent cranks from a rigid bar blade will be the most common reason to fail. You could get a good 1980s or 90s Victa with more life than one of those.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
