I could not find a replacement basket so I fixed the old one. Within the handle the plastic post that holds the handle together was broken off inside. I drilled a hole all the way through the handle and found a screw and t-nut combo and put it back together. The screw and t-nut can be found at Lowes, HD etc in the specialty fasteners. The idea is that there will be no head or nut protruding from the handle to interfere with its operation.
