If you look at the arm on the complete machine, the hole that is broken on yours should hold a lift for the reproducer to raise it off of the mandrel or cylinder...
If the arm is made of brass and not potmetal, you can solder a piece of brass in that location then reshape it correctly and tap a new screw hole...

Leather or felt. But yours doesn't look too bad. Just soak it with oil.
