I'd buy him a new one, a nice one. If you can afford it.
My dad went to repair an old video camera he bought about ten years ago and it was going to cost more to fix it than to buy a brand new, top of the range digitial video camera so it was totally useless to repair it. If he hasn't used it for ages then it's probably because he's done all he can with it (being old) so repairing it and putting effort into maintaining an old, useless camera is a bit pointless.
I'd explain to him exactly what happened and then hand him the new one.
