I've got a clamp-on, adjustable swing arm desk lamp with fully

apparent method of adjusting the friction. The hinge closest to the
base has worn and no longer supports any extended lamp position. I
don't even see any way to disassemble the hinges. I've spent hours
with Google trying to get help, but no luck. The manufacturer has not
been of help either. Any bright ideas?

I'd try to find a real draftsman's light and save yourself the aggravation.

some are actually somewhat affordable

what you're looking for are ones with springs at each pivot so they're
not relying on friction to hold the lamp steady
