Would you keep this item...?

I had a Digitech TSR24s with very similar damage, that steel plate isn't bent easily, I certainly struggled to bend it back into shape.
Fantastic unit though, and it ploughed on for a decade ir so before the chips started going. 

I love the sound of Digitech stuff from that era - I have a TSR-24 with the PPC200 upgrade card in it, sounds lush. Were you able to get it back into shape and sitting flat, then? 

I got it close enough, but the rotary encoder was smashed in whatever impact it had, I never could find a replacement, so was limited by the up/down cursor buttons

...has it been forcibly opened for a repair?

Well, it sounds great; I messaged the seller and said I'd be willing to keep it if he could give me a partial refund, which he's just done.

Result .

If it’s very visible I would still be inclined to see how difficult it is to get the panel off and straighten it.
