Nope, not broken. I'd pay no more than $150.

IRRC..that arm is cast iron. So a new one would likely need to be
fabricated from scratch. Which is no easy task and getting a chunk of
suitable steel big enough to machine into shape is not going to be
cheap.

"The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if
nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace
personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed,
the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of
defense for a civilized society. Unfortunately, too many of us see
police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line
of defense." --Walter Williams
