Yes, When donkeys fly!
Seriously, You're exercise was a great idea. Lot's to learn in disecting
an old upright, and look at all the screws you now have !
Break up that plate and bring it to a scrap iron - junkyard type place.
Or better yet, half bury it in the yard and plant morning glories around it!
Good luck,
