JT Marshall Hot Foil Press - Repair

Hi all, I recently purchased a JT Marshall 95 foil press and unfortunately it was damaged in shipping due to improper packaging and preparation for transit.

Below you can see the damage that occurred. The heater box adjustment screws are all bent and don’t meet their holes, the main rod that the table hinges on is bent (causing the table to sit askew), along with cosmetic damage. I am working with a machine shop to try to get the main lower rod out and a replica made, as well as machining new adjustment screws to replace all the bent ones. The biggest problem I am having now is I can’t figure out how to get the two middle screws that are embedded in the heater box (the two that point to the back of the machine) out to be replaced. Does anyone know how to access those two screws to get them out? I have opened the heater box up and cannot find an access point. I also welcome any other input on this repair or any US-based repair people you know of as I am new to this machine. I reached out to Metallic Elephant and they said I would have to ship the machine back to the UK for a repair which would blow the budget.

Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
