Broken Tone Arm Repair?

I just received a “The AR Turntable” purchased on eBay. The back part of the tone arm is bent downward at about a 15 deg angle (wasn’t that way in the posted photos). Question, is it repairable? If yes, by who?

Yes, it is held in with a small screw, remove the counterweight and insert a small Philips head screwdriver and remove the screw, most likely dent. Get a replacement screw of the same size and replace it into the counterweight stub.
Guessing the table was shipped with the counterweight on the table.
 
Ya, I have gotten a couple that way. The screw may come from the inside of the pivot knuckle or not, but either way it can be repaired. I have worked on several tone arms and most screws screw in from inside the knuckle. Good luck.

Thanks, I got it fixed with the assistance of an earlier response. I appreciate it.
