Ouch, my DVX took a hit! Advice?

Earlier today, I had my DVX and LEX mounted to a tripod and was just toying around with a few lenses. However, it wasn't well balanced in terms of weight. Long story short, my DVX tips back and falls to the floor, adapter and all, and breaks into two pieces.

One piece consists of the DVX and its lens. The other consists of the adapter, the focus wheel and the zoom ring.

I have screwed the pieces back onto each other, but the zoom ring and focus wheel are busted. The zoom isn't a big deal as I have other forms of zooming, but the focus ring is bad, very bad.

Is there anything I can do to correct this? If not, how much do you think it would cost to get this fixed.

Fortunatly, the focus is set to the sweet spot for 35mm adapters, meaning I can still shoot on that and pull focus using a manual lens, but for any non-35mm stuff this is a huge problem.
