My assumption is that your balun was connected to the two wing nuts towards the bottom of the photo. If so then it is my guess that the ends of both "hoops" should be connected where those screws rusted out. If you file off the rusty top portion you can probably remove the wing nuts from the screws and then grasp the screw with some vise grips and rotate and pull until they come out. If you replace them with some stainless steel screws they won't rust out over time. You could also try tapping upward on the screw to see if it will come out. Main thing is to be careful and not break that plastic. Maybe someone who is more familiar with that particular antenna can weigh in on the subject, but it looks easily repairable to me.
