Hi Tanya,
I agree with BL. I too have some very old Vandas and Ascocendas which were bull plants from a grower. The baskets are even more deteriorated than what you have in your pics—one is barely more than root mass wrapped around the metal bits left from the baskets. But the plants are safe and healthy so I leave them alone.
I also noticed in one of the pics your wooden basket has the original plastic basket still nestled down inside the wooden basket. What I would do is to attach the hangers, if you can, to the plastic basket still in there. The wood will continue to break down but plastic is pretty much forever.
BTW, congrats on the additions. The pink Vanda is especially beautiful.
