Several years ago, I got a deal on a chrome Mixmaster with the metal base from eBay. Unfortunately, the seller did a horrible job of packing it, and even left it assembled in the box. When it arrived, the latch on the base was broken as you described. To the seller's credit, he promptly refunded my money and told me to dispose of the mixer as I saw fit. My solution was to find a white plastic base on eBay for a cheap price and to glue the turntable, which had been broken into about three pieces, back together. That 'frankenmixer' was the only one I had for a while, but I eventually passed it down to my niece a couple of years ago, as I now have another all chrome one with the metal base, as well as a chrome Mixmaster Vista with the work light underneath the motor. Interestingly, it has a brown plastic base instead of a chrome one. I've often thought that if I were to get rid of one of the mixers, I'd keep the Vista and put it on the chrome base, even though that was never a factory option.
