Looked back at my wheel on an afternoon ride the other day to see that the rim was warped pretty bad. Some may even say bent. I’ve had it on the trueing stand for over 45 minutes now. Is my vintage Mavik wheel really gone for good… is it too far gone?

you would have to true it and check the tensions to know for certain. it probably wont be an issue getting it straight, but if the spoke tensions aren’t with the acceptable range, then its no good.
It’s got the moves like Jagger
I’d get a tension meter off Amazon, look up the wheel’s values or use Park Tool’s wheel tension app, get it to the recommended specs, if the wheel is still f’d then you’ll know.
i’d bin it. the sidewobble is doable, yet it has a nasty radial bump (near end of video), that im not sure i could get out.
