I've got a line on an older SCMI SI150 that I'm looking at getting, and I need some advice from those of you with sliders. This one has an issue with the blade angle adjustment, the seller just sent me a photo and it looks like the mount for the leadscrew is cracked and missing a small piece.

My question is, should this be a total dealbreaker? If I can get the casting out I can braze the crack, or drill some holes through the casting and bolt it together, or something else along those lines, but I don't have a good working knowledge of what the casting as a whole looks like/how easy it would be to get access to in the first place. The seller's asking price is only $1500, if that makes a difference.
