Repair a Hohner 260 C

Is if feasible to repair a Hohner 260 C?
My father got this harmonica in the mid 1960's. He would periodically try to play a Schottische that he heard as a child growing up in a Polish neighborhood in the 1920s.
I ran across it today while looking for something totally different...
The slide slides, but the button fell off around 1975 and he somehow bent the end of the slide while soldering the button back on. The reeds all make noise...
Is if feasible to repair this thing, or is best to keep it as is just for the memories?
You can purchase a replacement slide from Hohner:

That's probably better than trying to straighten out a bent slide, which will never be comlpetely flat and will tend to scrape agains the slot it slides into.
