suggestions?: Dropped SB-230

[KA5MGL]

Hello all;

I have an SB-230 which was dropped in shipping.  (The story is too long to go into, and dealing with the shipper is long past and now a dead issue.)  Apparently, on impact the transformer struck the rectifier board, cracking it.  It also bent the chassis beneath the transformer, such that the transformer now rest at a slight tilt.   

I am seeking suggestions on how to handle this.   Is it difficult to find a replacement rectifier PC board? (The board is cracked but the traces are still intact.)  Should I merely mend the existing board?  Any thoughts on how best to "flatten" the chassis beneath the transformer such that the transformer rest as it should?

Perhaps the bigger question is, after such a physical shock is the amp likely work afterward?  Is it headed for the dumpster? or back to the operating position?

I am a new subscriber. Please pardon me if my questions are inappropriate or too lengthy.

73,
de Kelly, KA5MGL
