2. We just thought their attempt to "fix" it was interesting. Rubber pushed into the hole at the front/bottom and the wood shim shoved into the top of the damaged tube inside the top.
We did buy a different used core to put in the Regular... but I think it would be kind of fun to use this one, because it looks like crud. Anyway, we were just curious what you all thought.
